Charles,
One aspect of my posting may be somewhat confusing.

It is not strictly accurate to be talking about "version 5" and "version 6" controls as if they originate from the corresponding versions of COMCTL32.DLL
Rather, the "version 5" (if we can call them that) originate instead from USER32.DLL

The original version of controls (button, edit, static, listbox, combobox and scrollbar) are in USER32.DLL
It seems that SwiftForth are using these.

From v6.00 of COMCTL32.DLL updated/ enhanced/ new "XP style" versions of these controls with the same names were provided in COMCTL32.DLL intended to supercede those provided in USER32.DLL

The main aspect of the question is how to instruct SwiftForth to use the newer versions.
Ideally, also to have a mechanism by which old or new could be selected using some sort of directive at the start of a programme.

Best Regards,
Douglas
