Hello, on XP you MUST call at least InitCommonControls, if your using commctl 6 manifest. I'm surprised that above XP it is working without this call.

It's good form to do so, and I tried it with and without it.

It's only actually required if no other program has already done so.

Also, it doesn't have to actually be executed, just appear somewhere in the code.  A very strange thing.

And microsoft says:

Under Comctl32.dll version 6.0 and later, InitCommonControls does nothing. Applications must explicitly register all common controls through InitCommonControlsEx.
