Re: [Dev-C++] Sample code COMMON CONTROLS: DATETIME PICKER & still lost

Ok, may be rigth or not, some warning level at first time linker 
instance, anyway.
But, the fact is that mean comctl32.a looks like libcomctl32.a and the 
sintaxis must be -lNAME where NAME is comctl32 without the 'lib' header 
or '.a'  ext. ( I read about in the dev-cpp help) funny!.
Do you know some win32 source examples (not very complex of course) 
across the net more than draf a button, combo or something else ??

Thanks Seb
