Hi!

i wonder is there anyway to make the common control display by using excel vba?
like Application.OperatingSystem to display os version.

thx in advance
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Looks like no one knows how to diplay the common control version. but dose any one know how to get dll version? the dll file is comctl32.dll it in windows\system32

Code:
