Workplace Shell objects have styles that define their behavior. The object class style is defined by wpQueryStyle. When an object is created, the object's style is initially inherited from the class. The wpQueryStyle method can modify the style flags to tailor the object. Also, wpModifyStyle can be used to set or reset individual style flags for the object. The following table lists the object style flags:
