Common Controls 6.0 in Windows 2000?

Question

I'm wanting to use Grouping in CListCtrls, which seems to have been introduced in Common Controls 6. CC6 only came out with XP, so we have a problem with Windows 2000 and earlier. Deploying a new version of Comctl32.dll would seem to be the solution - however, our software has the requirement of being a standalone executable.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Answer 1

Unfortunate information from Microsoft:

Unlike earlier versions of ComCtl32.dll, version 6 is not redistributable. The only way you can use version 6 of the dynamic-link library (DLL) is to use an operating system that contains it.
