Nick,
Is there a way programaically to determine if App is running on Window 95/98/2000 or nt

I would want My app to say :

If MyOS = 95 or 98,then RegisterControl("C:\Windows\system\comctl32.ocx)
If Myos = 'NT',then RegisterControl("C:\Windows\System32\Comctl32.ocx)
If MyOs = '2000' then RegisterControl("C:\Windows\xxxxxx\Comct132.ocx)

Or does the .OCX 'have' to be in a specified folder.
If I always put it into the Folder of my App and then I can always just:

llRegistered=RegisterControl("MyDrive:\MyFolder\MyOcx.ocx")

Regards,

Gerard



>Yes, it should work in any version, just the location of controls may be different, for example:
>llRegistered = RegisterControl("c:\windows\system\comctl32.ocx")
>llRegistered = RegisterControl("c:\winnt\system32\comctl32.ocx")
