Advanced Window Properties dialog – Extended Styles tab

Use the Extended Styles tab to customize the look and behavior of a custom window. Most of the options are associated with specific window style IDs used by developers. If you are interested in using any of them with your window, ask your developer for specifics since they may need to do some additional programming to provide the functionality.
