It's do same job : -addstyle == -pushstyle -popstyle == -remstyle == -notstyle == -negstyle from GUI_Options : } else if(strcmp(option, "-style") == 0) { next_i = i + 1; perlcs->cs.style = (DWORD) SvIV(ST(next_i)); if(PL_dowarn) { warn("Win32::GUI: the -style option is deprecated!"); } } else if(strcmp(option, "-pushstyle") == 0 || strcmp(option, "-addstyle") == 0) { next_i = i + 1; perlcs->cs.style |= (DWORD) SvIV(ST(next_i)); } else if(strcmp(option, "-popstyle") == 0 || strcmp(option, "-remstyle") == 0 || strcmp(option, "-notstyle") == 0 || strcmp(option, "-negstyle") == 0) { next_i = i + 1; perlcs->cs.style ^= (DWORD) SvIV(ST(next_i)); I think we have a bug on -remstyle like options. If you remove a style not set, you push it !!!! #perl # remstyle on a set style $var = 1; $var ^= 1; print "$var\n"; # print 0 OK # remstyle on a not set style $var = 2; $var ^= 1; print "$var\n"; # print 3 Wrong !!! # correct remstyle $var = 3; $var &= $var ^ 1; print "$var\n"; # print 2 OK So if we correct this, and use a -remstyle => 0xFFFFFFFF and a -addstyle this work like -style option. $W->AddLabel( -text => 'Hello, world', -name => 'Hello', -left => 25, -top => 25, -remstyle => 0xFFFFFFFF, -addstyle => WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | SS_CENTER; ); I don't know if it's possible to have an order parse options problem. But, it's not very nice. -style option is better. -style option have is avantage than others -*style options haven't (and reverse is true). It's why i think it's not need to be deprecated (actually warm message and probably remove in futur version). So, keep both and use as appropriate ;o) Laurent.
