[Dev-C++] usinng common controls

[ken b. <kbo...@ea...>]

Don't know if this has been already addressed in here, haven't read the =
entire list yet,sorry.
When trying to compile/link a win32 program that uses "common controls", =
I get a linker error (it compiles ok) about "InitCommonControlsEx" being =
undefined. I'm told I need to add comctrl32.lib to the linker but I =
can't find it on my win98 system or the web, any ideas?

thanks,

Ken Bouchard

Dev-C++ (MinGW) uses libraries like used in Linux (AFAIK) so they all =
end in .a

They follow the form lib"name".a so you would want: libcomctl32.a which =
you will find in the Dev-C++ or MinGW lib directory.
