ID: Q125686

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++ version 2.0

SUMMARY

When using Visual C++ version 2.0 on Windows 95, the Windows 95 common controls do not appear by default on the control palette in the Visual C++ Dialog Editor. Many of these controls may be added, however, by adding an entry into the registry.

MORE INFORMATION

To add buttons in the Dialog Editor's control palette for TreeView, ListView, HotKey, Trackbar, Progress, and UpDown controls:

1. Run REGEDIT from the start menu.

2. Select:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual C++ 2.0 Dialog Editor

3. Select the New, Binary Value option from the Edit Menu.

4. Rename the new entry "ChicagoControls" without the quotation marks.

5. Select Modify from the edit menu to change the value of ChicagoControls

   to 01 00 00 00. The editor will add the spaces between each pair of
   digits.

6. Exit REGEDIT.

7. Restart Visual C++ version 2.0.
