VC++ 6.0, non MFC I am trying to create a status bar using the CreateWindowEx function but it keeps returning a NULL handle and not creating the status bar. I also tried CreateStatusWindow which MSDN says is obsolete just for kicks and that didn''t work either. I have the comctl32.lib and commctrl.h files included, am I missing something? I don''t get any compile errors, but I have the feeling I am missing something pretty simple. Thanks in advance.

Did you call InitCommonControls() first?

Thanks, I knew I was forgetting something simple like that
