Question: VC++ support for new Common Control

Environment: Win95, VC++ 4.2b

I have downloaded and applied the patch vc42b from Microsoft web site. To
my disappointment, the commctrl header and library still do not support the
new Common Control found in IE3. The patched header file is dated 6 Sept
which is definitely newer than the one on the VC++ 4.2 CD-ROM. And the
readme on the web claims the latest ActiveX SDK components are included. As
I am trying to compile the samples from MSJ Oct and Nov issues, I like to
know where I can obtain the latest header and library file.
In addition, I like to write my own MFC extensions for these new common
controls. Any idea how soon the MFC will be updated to support them? If the
wait is not too long, I would rather wait.
Thank you.

Of course they don't: the common controls you're referring to are still
in beta and not yet part of any shipping SDK.

MFC won't be updated to handle new common controls until there really are new
common controls.  The common controls are in beta: they aren't shipping yet,
and are subject to change.
