The Windows API headers provided with MinGW are Open Source and not
Microsoft's official SDK files, and may not be perfect. The message is not
complaining about the function not being present but merely the symbol
TB_SETIMAGELIST. You should open commctrl.h directly and search the file to
see if it exists and if it does to see if it is dependent on any conditional
compilation macros. If it does not exist, you might try installing teh latest
Win32API component from www.mingw.org. Failing all that, you could simply find
out (from Microsoft's SDK for example) how the symbol is defined and add it ot
the commctrl.h header yourself.

you are right :) . i had to manually open commctrl.h and i found this line
define TB_SETIMAGELIST (WM_USER+48)
Manually adding this line to my source made the toolbar appear without any
problems. But i wonder why i have to manually redefine the symbol
TB_SETIMAGELIST yet its defined in the commctrl.h header.... I am going to try
the latest win32 api and compare the results

Thanks anyway. Appreciate your help.

Because it's not (at least not unconditionally). You obviously missed my point
about conditional compilation. I have not installed Dev-C++, but looking at
the Microsoft SDK version, that macro is dependent on:
Now it seems unlikely that those conditions are not true under normal
circumstances, but you may have something in your code that makes it so, or
possibly the MinGW header's have other conditions onm definition of this
macro.

I wonder when SourceForge will fix this abysmal mark-down implementation! The
quoted sections got merged with my text despite appearing correct in the
preview. (I'm guessing that you did not even look at teh preview judging you
the mark-up in your post!). Any way, the above should have read:

Got it :)
Its true that the problem was with conditional compilation. I got your point
when i saw the two lines below in commctrl.h
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It did ;). However your did not use code mark-up there - that at least works
better that nothing when applied carefully; best method is to select the text
and click the code button.
It is not mark-down that is the problem, but rather SourceForge's
implementation of it. It works perfectly at StackOverflow. This may make you
laugh:
i am trying to add a toolbar to my application by using an image list.
SendMessage(hToolBar, TB_SETIMAGELIST, 0, hImgLst);
i have #included<commctrl.h> and linked the program with libcomctl32
by adding this to project>parameters>linker -lcomctl32
my surprise is that the above function seems not to be recorgnised yet i got
it from msdn.Here is the link

Because it's not (at least not unconditionally). You obviously missed my point
about conditional compilation. I have not installed Dev-C++, but looking at
the Microsoft SDK version, that macro is dependent on:
_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300
!defined NOUSER
!defined NOTOOLBAR
Now it seems unlikely that those conditions are not true under normal
circumstances, but you may have something in your code that makes it so, or
possibly the MinGW header's have other conditions onm definition of this
macro.

Its true that the problem was with conditional compilation. I got your point
when i saw the two lines below in commctrl.h
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifndef _WIN32_IE
/ define _WIN32_IE if you really want it /
#if 0 //which means this is never implemented
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0300
#endif
#endif
#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300)
#define TB_SETIMAGELIST (WM_USER+48)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//this means that _WIN32_IE 0x0300 is NEVER defined for me and i should have
#defined _WIN32_IE
PS: This markdown syntax is starting to piss me off :(
i hope it does not mess up my post
