To recreate a Control you must:

1. Store rectangle and previous window in Z order (to keep Tab work normally).

2. Destroy Control by DestroyWindow().

3. Create Control by CreateWindow(). // put here your styles.

4. Move window to proper Z order by –

SetWindowPos (&wndPrev, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZCTIVATE);
