+      If "vsapi" is used as the value of *etype*, :meth:`element_create`
+      will create a new element in the current theme whose visual appearance
+      is drawn using the Microsoft Visual Styles API which is responsible
+      for the themed styles on Windows XP and Vista.
+      *args* is expected to contain the Visual Styles class and part as
+      given in the Microsoft documentation followed by an optional sequence
+      of tuples of ttk states and the corresponding Visual Styles API state
+      value.
+      *kw* may have the following options:
+
+      padding=padding
+         Specify the element's interior padding.
+         *padding* is a list of up to four integers specifying the left,
+         top, right and bottom padding quantities respectively.
+         If fewer than four elements are specified, bottom defaults to top,
+         right defaults to left, and top defaults to left.
+         In other words, a list of three numbers specify the left, vertical,
+         and right padding; a list of two numbers specify the horizontal
+         and the vertical padding; a single number specifies the same
+         padding all the way around the widget.
+         This option may not be mixed with any other options.
+
+      margins=padding
+         Specifies the elements exterior padding.
+         *padding* is a list of up to four integers specifying the left, top,
+         right and bottom padding quantities respectively.
+         This option may not be mixed with any other options.
+
+      width=width
+         Specifies the width for the element.
+         If this option is set then the Visual Styles API will not be queried
+         for the recommended size or the part.
+         If this option is set then *height* should also be set.
+         The *width* and *height* options cannot be mixed with the *padding*
+         or *margins* options.
+
+      height=height
+         Specifies the height of the element.
+         See the comments for *width*.
