The following window styles are unique to rich edit controls:
| Style | Description |
|---|---|
| ES_DISABLENOSCROLL | Disables scrollbars instead of hiding them when they are not needed. |
| ES_EX_NOCALLOLEINIT | Prevents the control from calling the OleInitialize function when created. Useful only in dialog templates because CreateWindowEx does not accept this style. |
| ES_NOIME | Disables the input method editor (IME) operation. Available for Asian-languages only. |
| ES_SAVESEL | Preserves the selection when the control loses the focus. By default, the entire contents of the control are selected when it regains the focus. |
| ES_SELFIME | Directs the rich edit control to allow the application to handle all IME operations. Available for Asian-languages only. |
| ES_SUNKEN | Displays the control with a sunken border style so that the rich edit control appears recessed into its parent window. Windows 95: Applications developed for Windows 95 should use WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE instead of ES_SUNKEN. |
| ES_VERTICAL | Draws text and objects in a vertical direction. Available for Asian-languages only. |
