I wasn't sure whether or not to put this in DLL Talk or Programming Talk.

I'm working on a Windows GUI plugin, and I want visual styles enabled. When I was creating a Windows application in C++ this was quite simple. However now I have to do this from a plugin and I can't seem to get it working. I've already went through this MSDN article and couldn't find anything that would help me.

So you tried this?

- Add this to your code


- Add this to your linker input: ComCtl32.lib

- Include this header file: commctrl.h

- Call InitCommonControlsEx with the controls you are using

- Create your GUI
