Structures

[2-Bit Chip]

Will this work?

Code Select Expand

ComCtrls INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX <SIZEOF INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX, ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES>

Or, does that make 2 structures instead of putting in values for that single struct?

That works just fine, I have used it for years.

Alrighty then. :lol

I would rather using this method than moving data around in the code segment.

i think it is a matter of how large the structure is
if it is sufficiently large, and only needs to be initialized once, it may make a smaller EXE to initialize it with code
because you can put the struct in the uninitialized data area
if you have a thousand structures and initialize them with a loop, it can make a big difference

there is also the issue of readability. for very large structures, initialising it all in the data section makes it completely unreadable.

a lot of typing, too   :bg
well - copy/paste, anyways
