Ok thanx for your mentions, here what I do and what I want to do.

I open a new Win32 project from visual c++ projects in Visual Studio.NET 2002. Then from application settings I select windows application as Application type and select empty project. Then I include the following code to it.
*************************************************
//WinMain.cpp
#include <windows.h>
#define ID_TIMER 1

BOOL CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
hInst = hInstance;
int DlgResult = DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAINDLG), NULL, DlgProc);
return 0;
}

BOOL CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(uMsg)
{

case WM_INITDIALOG:
//....
//....
//....
return 0;
}
return 0;
}
*************************************************

then I try to make my Dialog by using resource editor. It work with no problem when I add simple items like button edit area but when I try to use smthg like drag and drop a progress bar or tree view the project does not give any errror but does not appear. If you want I could pass you the hole solution file. I only think that there could be a project setting needed to use this kind of controls. I also try to create the prograss bar by using createwindow function. Also it does the same thing: no effect.
If you pass me a full solution files that created with Visual studio which use a progress bar I could check its setting with mine.
Also I do not get any problem while try same things to do with visual studio 6.0.
It is a very bad stuation I do not take any error message but ýt does not work.:confused:

... but you should put your code in .... It will also help it understand your code better.

Please disregard 'x' in [] above as that may have its effect!

To use common controls in Win32 Application (eg. progress bar). You have to register first the window class by calling InitCommonControlsEx before calling DialogBox.

For example in using Progress bar:

INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX icc = {sizeof(icc), ICC_PROGRESS_CLASS};
InitCommonControlsEx(&icc);
DialogBox(...)

For complete list of common controls, see INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX in MSDN.

Hope this will help you.
