Type INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX_TYPE dwSize As Long dwICC As Long End Type

Description & Usage

The INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX_TYPE structure tells InitCommonControlsEx which common control classes to register. The structure holds a combination of flags specifying which classes are wanted.

Visual Basic-Specific Issues

Officially, the name of this structure is INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX (all capitals). However, since Visual Basic is case-insensitive, that name conflicts with the InitCommonControlsEx API function. Therefore, it is necessary to give it a different name -- in this case, by appending _TYPE to the end.
