Microsoft Windows Common Controls

[Ratch]

Hutch,

     How do  we programmers incorporate the Microsoft Windows Common Controls into our applications.  There are controls like the Up/Down control that is supposed to be supported in comctl23.dll, but the API CreateUpDownControl is not defined in MASM32.  And how do we do MFC in MASM?  Any info about this will be read with interest.  Ratch

Ratch,

The common control style hang together much like the old ones in that you specify a predefined control class and use CreatWindowEx() to create the control. Most people just specify the control string for each control for this purpose. These are the styles that I have in the middle of the DIALOGS.INC file.

They are a lot indeed... I'm bit confused... Some of their names i see for the first time. Are they all documented? Or some are in system use?
