I want to make a control where the bottom is nice and beveled as seen here:

What style must I add to my control to achieve the same look as this?
Thanks
You could create a static control with a WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE or WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE extended style, and place it in a containing child window, which clips the top and sides so you only see the bottom bevel.
Looking at the picture, you may even not need the child window – just position the static window at -4x-4 (use GetSystemMetrics SM_CX_BORDER to find out the real size of the window border) and size it 2x the border width larger that needed.
