Remarks
To set a Chat control's user interface so that it includes a Send text box, Send button, Whisper button, History text box, and Participant list box, this property must be set to the sum of the option values. In this case, the sum would equal 31 (16 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 4 = 31). To set the control to have all options, the sum would equal 4095 (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 = 4095).
