I need the comctl32.lib library for some stuff I'm doing in the windows api, but I don't want to download the SDK from Microsoft because it's to big. Where else can I get it?

You might be able to find it somewhere with google, but I'm willing to bet that the dependencies will kick your ass. It's a much better idea to just bite the bullet and download the SDK.

The reason I'm asking is that I have dialup internet (highspeed isn't avalible in my area:( ) and it will take hours to download. I guess I'll try and get someone with highspeed to download it for me. Thanks for the reply Narue I didn't think about the dependencies.

Do you have a memory stick of some kind? Could you download it in an internet cafe or something and transfer it to your computer at home? Or, as you suggested, a friend? College? Work? School?

I think you can also order the SDK on CD at nominal cost, probably $5 to $10.

I tried that but the form kept saying that I hadn't filled in all the fields even though I had and I couldn't get it to work.

I just tried it and got all the way to the end where it asked for credit card info, then I stopped because it would have cost $8+ for USP
