Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: It looks like it should be possible to bind to a different comctl32.dll than what gets loaded by the host application. See this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/830033 which even claims that you should be able to do so with manifests (notice how you need to define ISOLATION_AWARE_ENABLED to get different versions of CreateWindowEx etc); also see the .NET code on how they use explicit activation contexts Also see http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2007/06/26/rt-manifest-resource-and-isolation-aware-enabled.aspx for an explanation what resources must be defined so that a DLL can bind to a different version than the rest of the process. I think you want to put the comctl32 manifest binding into RT_MANIFEST resource 2 (not 1, as you probably had tried so far). _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5019> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
