Common Control Classes

The second group of controls that you can use are called common controls. To compile a program using these controls you will need to link to comctl32.lib (in Dev-C++ this means adding -lcomctl32 to the linker options) and include commctrl.h. You will also have to make a call to InitCommonControls(void) before you can create the controls. These class names are all defines for the strings names so speech marks should not be used.
