Can I replace commctrl.h shipped on Builder6 cd with commctrl.h from
Microsoft SDK (2002)?
I need XP themes when my app is executed on XP and standard controls
on older systems.

I've added the following line in Microsoft's header:

#ifndef _INC_COMMCTRL
#pragma option push -b -a8 -pc -A- // ******* this line
#define _INC_COMMCTRL

And I've defined

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x501

in my pch.h (precompiled optimized headers) before #include
<windows.h>

After the change and a fast test, my app works (or at least it seems
to work) on both W95 (very old commctrl.dll) and XP (new) but i'd like
to know if commctrl.h change can create problems or if I should update
other .h from MicrosoftSDK to Borland includes.

Thank you
