Hope that helps

I do have the code

Code:

LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX cmmnctrls=malloc(sizeof(cmmnctrls));
    cmmnctrls->dwSize=sizeof(cmmnctrls);
    cmmnctrls->dwICC=ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES | ICC_BAR_CLASSES;
    InitCommonControlsEx(cmmnctrls);

at the start of the WinMain function.

Not quite so palatable when the boot's on the other foot is it? If you provide well defined problems ("it doesn't work" is not a well defined problem) you get well defined answers rather than this merry-go-round of guessing that has defined every single one of your threads. It's surely not a coincedence that none of the recent ones have come to any sort of successful conclusion.

It doesn't work for the same reason this doesn't work:

Code:

char* myString = malloc(sizeof(char*));
strcpy(myString, "Hello, I'm a string in some really bad code");
