A static control is a control used to display text, to draw frames or lines separating other controls, or to display icons. A static control does not accept user input, but it can notify its parent window of stylus taps if the static control is created with SS_NOTIFY style.
Static control
Although you can use static controls in overlapped, pop-up, and child windows, they are designed for use in dialog boxes, where Windows CE standardizes their behavior. If you use static controls outside of dialog boxes, you increase the risk that the application might behave in a nonstandard fashion.
Windows CE does not support owner-drawn static controls.
