    PROGRESS_CLASS is a macro. Therefore, it should not be enclosed as a string.

    Also, remember to call InitCommonControls(Ex) before creating the dialog box.

    where should i declare InitCommonControls? In the rc file?

    also declaring this:
    Code:
    CONTROL "", ID_PROGRESS, PROGRESS_CLASS,WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD, 10, 50, 200, 20
    gave me this error:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\STP\STP\resource1.rc (120): error RC2104 : undefined keyword or key name: PROGRESS_CLASS
