[Dev-C++] IntCommonControlsEx linking problem !

[<Met...@ao...>]

Hi there

Just downloaded the ToolTipCtrl C++ class from codebytes to get some "bubble 
help" on my App.

It needs commctrl.h and _WIN32_IE defined on a higher value of 0x300. All is 
OK by this side

But then, there is a linker error saying that it is impossible to link the 
definition of InitCommonControlsEx() function to any piece of object code. 
Did I miss something ? Isn't it included in libcommctl32.a, in the lib 
directory ?

Kind regards

Hi,

>Isn't it included in libcommctl32.a, in the lib directory ?
The file name is libcomctl32.a.

In Project Options, have you included this?
-lcomctl32

If a library is present in the 'lib' directory, it doesn't neccessarily
meant that it's linked in. To specify that you want to add, say libfoo.a to
the project, in 'Project options' > 'Linker Options', type in '-lfoo'. So
here, you'd specify '-lcomctl32'. Hope this helps.
