Let me clarify my question. > You build a standalong windows app and link in > (statically) the comctl32.dll into your app. By definition that is impossible. The "D" in DLL stands for "Dynamic". > You then want to > deploy your application, your application now contains parts > of the dll but not all of them due to static linking. No, it doesn't. The .lib you linked to is a stub. It doesn't contain any part of the DLL code, regardless of how much of the library you use. IIUC, the .lib under discussion isn't even of Microsoft origin; it's generated by a Cygwin or Mingw program. -- Gary R.
