    Create DateTimePicker in Windows 98

    I've created a DateTimePicker with this code:
    Code:
    void CreateControls(HWND hwnd) {
        HWND dtpTest = CreateWindowEx(
            0, DATETIMEPICK_CLASS, NULL,
            WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | DTS_UPDOWN,
            8, 8,
            100, 20,
            hwnd, NULL,
            hInst, NULL
        );
    }
    I've also called InitCommonControlsEx() with the ICC_DATE_CLASSES flag. It works fine in Windows XP, but the control isn't created at all in Windows 98.

    Am I overlooking something here?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    RE: Create DateTimePicker in Windows 98

    I finally got it working after hours of banging my head against the wall.

    Before I was calling InitCommonControlsEx right after registering my window class. I moved it to the WM_CREATE message handler, and it works. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work the other way, so if anyone can fill me in on that it would be great.
