comctl32

I am adding controls to a Windows Form during runtime in a C# .NET application. Each of these controls interacts with a particular signal and uses some data from that signal -- signal name, description, source, units, value, etc. These controls have a check box on them. When the Visible property of the checkbox of just one of these signals becomes true, my application's Committed memory jumps over 800MB. None of the other hundreds of signals have the problem. I used the DebugDiag tool to learn that comctl32.dll is allocating 805.45 MBytes. In particular: Function comctl32_72380000

I'm using the WindowsAPICodePack for TaskDialog. When I try to show the dialog it says that it needs to load version 6 of comctl32.dll. So I added version 6 to the app.manifest and tried running it. Still no luck. I went to the Debug folder and ran the program without Visual Studio and it works fine. I'm guessing that Visual Studio isn't using the manifest file... I was wondering if there was a way to make it do this. Robpol86, your code is throwing SEHExceptions, because the signatures for ActivateActCtx and DeactivateActCtx are not correct. You have to use UIntPtr instead of uint for the

The ListView in Comtl32.dll v6.0 does multiple selection (when using Shift key) as follows (x means selected) 00xxxx xxxxxx xxxx00 Earlier versions of ListView do it as follows : 00xx00 00xx00 00xx00 Is there any way to have it do the first way (the comctl32 v6.0 way)? Thanks John The short answer is no. But because that seems incomplete... The ListView does not expose an API that allows you to change its selection behavior, and as Hans obliquely puts it in his comment, the only way to change the behavior of the ListView control found in versions of comctl32.dll prior to version 6.0 is with a

According to the docs : "If you want your application to use ComCtl32.dll version 6, you must add an application manifest or compiler directive to specify that version 6 should be used if it is available." Notice the logical OR above? So what is this mysterious compiler directive? I've got a native Win32 C++ application that is wholly contained in a single .cpp file. There are no resource files, manifest files, etc. I'd like to keep it that way, but I would also like to use visual styles. If you're using Visual Studio, you can add this line to your stdafx.cpp for example: #pragma comment
