InitCommonControlsEx
Author
I am trying to use InitCommonControlsEx in a Microsoft C++ program but I get an error and I think I am following the documentation for this function call.
I wonder what I am doing wrong here:
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX InitCtrlEx;
InitCtrlEx.dwSize=sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX)
InitCommonControlsEx(&InitCtrlEx);
And why I get this error:
error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'struct tagINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX'
If that is your exact code then this line is missing a semicolon:
InitCtrlEx.dwSize=sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX)
InitCtrlEx.dwSize=sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX)

Thanks.
But now I get this error:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__InitCommonControlsEx@4
Documentation says to link to comctrl32.dll, but "comctl32.lib"
is included in the link list.

Try doing a clean rebuild of your project
This did not change anything.
Put this at the top of your code:
#pragma comment(lib, "comctl32.lib")
Its likely not in your list unless you put it there. Plus cannot hurt to add that in just to be sure.
#pragma comment(lib, "comctl32.lib")
