    Using progress bar control

    Hi, I'm trying to use a progress bar control in my application. I'm following this example at msn site http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...divcontrol.asp.

    I'm using this code to create the control:
    Code:
        InitCommonControlsEx(&myInitCtrls);
        hwndProgressBar = CreateWindowEx(
                 0, 
                 progressBarClassName,
    	         NULL, 
                 WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
                 0, 
                 0,
                 200, 
                 10, 
                 hwndParent, 
                 0, 
                 hInstance, 
                 NULL);
    Before, I've initialized
    Code:
    INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX myInitCtrls;
    and included
    Code:
    #include <commctrl.h>
    The problem is that compiler throws this error:
    Code:
    "31 progressbar.c [Warning] data definition has no type or storage class"
    I've checked comctl32.dll version 4.70 or later is my Windows System Directory.

    Code:
    HWND CreateProgress(HWND hParent, int cx, int cy, int x, int y, DWORD dwStyle, DWORD dwExStyle)
    {
    	INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX icex;
    	icex.dwSize = sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);
    	icex.dwICC  = ICC_PROGRESS_CLASS;
    	InitCommonControlsEx(&icex);
    	
    	hwnd=CreateWindowEx(dwExStyle, PROGRESS_CLASS, NULL, 
    			dwStyle | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, x, y, cx, cy, hParent, NULL, 0, NULL);
    }
    Also make sure when you compile you include comctl32.lib in the library modules. If your using vc++ you can get to it by pressing Alt+F7.

    If you need more info about any of the control go here Windows Controls

    Hope this helps
