Windows Common Controls

Windows Common Controls

The Win32 API itself provides many of the most common controls under Windows, called Common controls. These controls, unlike buttons, ComboBox and other controls, are not implemented in User32.dll, but are implemented in Comctrl32.dll, and the associated C + + prototype is declared in Commctrl.h.

Therefore, when writing a Windows window application using the Win32 API, if you use common Controls on the interface, you must include the Comctrl32.lib library in the link options and call InitCommonControls when the program is initialized ( ) function to ensure that the control is loaded. The InitCommonControls () function is declared in commctrl.h, so the header file needs to be included in the program.

The Common controls list is as follows:
Animation
ComboBoxEx
Date_and_time_picker
Drag_list_box
Flat_scroll_bar
Header
HotKey
ImageList
IPAddress
List_view
Month_calendar
Pager
Progress_bar
Property_sheets
Rebar
Status Bars
Syslink
Tab
