Digital Mars - c++ - Windows control classes fails

When i use non standard Windows control classes like "SysListView32" or
"msctls_progress32" the dialogbox function fails and return -1

Works fine with standard control like edit, button, combobox,...
Whats wrong ?


here a sample of my rc file :

/* ares.rc file */
#pragma res32
#include <windows.h>
#include "ares.h"


DLG_100 DIALOGEX 58, 28, 247, 189
STYLE DS_CENTER | DS_3DLOOK | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
EXSTYLE WS_EX_STATICEDGE
CAPTION "ACAPTION"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
CONTROL "caption", 101, "SysListView32", 0x241 | WS_BORDER, 83, 35, 70, 70
END

Yes, like this :


int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{

void InitCommonControls();

DialogBox(hInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(DLG_100),NULL,MyProc);

return 0;
}

You've made a declaration, not a call. Remove the "void" and it should work

You're welcome.

However, linking would not have made a difference (which is obvious from the
fact that you didn't get a link error), because

int f1()
{
  int f2();

 return 0;
}

is a function f1() within which is a declaration for a function f2(), _not_
a call to f2(). This is termed, by Scott Meyers, as C++'s vexing parse.

In any case, glad to be of help.

:)
