visual studio 6 running on windows xp

thanks for any help as its getting extremly infuryating, i have played with option's and looked around google !

You need to list commctrl.lib in the import library section.

Or maybe it has some other name, comctl32.lib or something like that.

well i suppose my dumbness might help others :D

if you get this error make sure the libary comctl32.lib is included as InitCommonControls(); needs it :)

lol thanks CornedBee u must have been typing at the same time as me :)
