Windows Interface Reference: Button structure

# Button

The Button structure contains the styles, notifications and state values concerned with button controls. Buttons are windows like any other and can be constructed using CreateWindow although more usually they form part of a dialogue box. The values from the Notification substructure are sent as the code parameter in a WM_NOTIFY message. Specialised button messages begin with BM_. The values in the State substructure may be sent or returned in messages such as BM_GETCHECK and BM_SETSTATE.
