SYMPTOMS
Once you set the push-like (BS_PUSHLIKE) style for a radio button or check box and close the dialog editor window, you cannot remove the push-like style from the resource file.
You can deselect this style in the button's properties, but this change does not hold and the push-like style remains set.
RESOLUTION
The only way to remove the BS_PUSHLIKE style once it has been set is by editing the .RC file in a text editor.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Here is an example of a dialog resource with both a radio button and a check box with BS_PUSHLIKE:
IDD_DIALOG1 DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 183, 92 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "Dialog" FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif" BEGIN DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK",IDOK,126,7,50,14 PUSHBUTTON "Cancel",IDCANCEL,126,24,50,14 CONTROL "Radio1",IDC_RADIO1,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON | BS_PUSHLIKE,18,22,39,10 CONTROL "Check1",IDC_CHECK1,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | BS_PUSHLIKE | WS_TABSTOP,19,49,41,10 END
Here's the same dialog with the BS_PUSHLIKE style removed:
IDD_DIALOG1 DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 183, 92 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "Dialog" FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif" BEGIN DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK",IDOK,126,7,50,14 PUSHBUTTON "Cancel",IDCANCEL,126,24,50,14 CONTROL "Radio1",IDC_RADIO1,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON, 18,22,39,10 CONTROL "Check1",IDC_CHECK1,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | WS_TABSTOP,19,49,41,10 END
