I am experiencing a most annoying little problem.

I recently switched from the Borland compiler to Visual C++ 5 compiler.

I cannot for the life of me get any of the common controls to work when
compiling under  VisualC 5 compiler. However they work fine under the
Borland 5 compiler.

My understanding is to get a common control you.

1) #include<commctrl.h>
2) InitCommonControls()
3) hProgWnd = CreateWindowEx(0, PROGRESS_CLASS,NULL,WS_CHILD | 	
WS_VISIBLE,19,139,238,8,hDlg, (HMENU) 0,hInstance,NULL);
or whichever control you want 

under MS Vc++5 "hProgWnd == NULL"  but the same code under Borland is fine.

Do I not have flag set in the compiler? I added comdlg32.lib to the
project/settings/link but this seems to make no difference.

What am I doing WRONG.
