This code works?
Code: Select all
InitCommonControls_()
MessageBox_(0,"test","test",0)

That's because when XP skins are enabled, you need to do as in the above post. This is a Windows "thing".

Oh, I see, thanks for clarifying this. I got mislead by this kind of code
:
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 100, 100, "PureBasic Window", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
If Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow ; If the user has pressed on the close button
MessageBox_(0,"test","test",0)
Quit = 1
EndIf
Until Quit = 1
EndIf
End
As you can see, there is no initialization in the above code. But that's because PureBasic calls "InitCommonControls_()" internally for use with the GUI it creates. It's all clear now, thanks.
