Dmitry, please stop repeating misinformation. Go read the MSDN, I've
provided you with the relevant URLs. Here is the situation:
-- in XP, there are *two* implementations of the standard controls:
the old one in user32, and a strict superset, in comctl32.
Applications can ask for the one in comctl32 by specifying so
in their manifest file. This is done so that applications continue
to run on older versions of Windows.
-- since we don't have the same constrains as MS, and since we can't
afford to maintain two versions of the standard controls, we are
just going to extend the ones from user32 to the full capability
of the ones in comctl32 ver. 6. As such, it make sense to audit them
against the comctl32 ver. 6 documentation.
In other words, the comment is right on the money.
