Resource DLLs have been around for a long time and are reasonably straight forward in how they work. It depends if you need the resource in the short term or you need it for the duration of the app. If you need the latter you would generally copy the resource from the DLL to your own app then unload the DLL.

I would be inclines to use InitCommonControlsEx() over InitCommonControls as it loads a bigger range of controls.
