I want to use extended styles of common controls in my MFC apps.  The headers in the dm\include\win32 folder are rather dated and do not contain the extended style definitions.  I know they are defined in the Platform SDK.  I tried to add the path to the Platform SDK include and lib folders in the IIDE on the Settings...|Directories property sheet, but it seem that is not the correct solution to my problem.

How can I use the new common control features in my MFC apps using Digital Mars?

I simply copied the macros for the ListView extended styles from the Platform SDK header file and pasted them into the x:\dm\include\commctrl.h and it works fine.

About using the Platform SDK:

I got an invalid lib file format error when I tried to use the Platform SDK libraries with the Digital Mars linker.  I am assuming that is because dmc doesn't support COFF.

Will I need to create a separate set of export libs for Digital Mars in order to use the Platform SDK?

Yes. Usually running COFF2OMF on them will resolve the issue.
