Setting the Graphic for a Control
The Graphic tab, which appears on the Properties dialog box for graphical dialog box
controls, lets you specify a graphic file for the control. It determines the image displayed
in the control. Not all controls can display graphics.

Setting the Items in a Control
The Items tab, which appears on the Properties dialog box for list box controls,
comboboxes, listview controls, and radio button controls, determines the items that are
listed in the control. It also lets you determine the tab order of the items, and set the
vertical position (which determines the order of the items on the dialog box).
See
Editing Dialog Controls
on page 463.
All controls that share the same property name also share the same list of items.
Example: Suppose you make a radio button control, associate the property ITEM_LIST
with it, and add three items to it. Then on another dialog box, you make a listview
control and associate ITEM_LIST with it. If you view the Items tab for the listview
control, it contains the same items as for the radio button.
