[Dev-C++] Cpp beginner

[<pav...@se...>]

Please,
How can I use common conrtols in Win GUI Application in Dev C++ ? When I add
'#include <commctrl.h>' to the begin of source file and try to call
'InitCommonControls()', error code

' [Linker error] undefined reference to InitCommonControls@0 '

appears. I tried to add the 'libcomctl32.a' to the project (Prject/Project
Options/Parameters/Add Library or Object), but then linker said

' ../../lib/libcomctl32.a C:\DEV-CPP\mingw32\bin\ld.exe file format not
recognized; treating as linker script'
'1 C:\DEV-CPP\mingw32\bin\lib\libcomctl32.a parse error'.

What should I do to correct this ? I thank for every response.
