Hello gurus.


Problem:

function CreateWindowEx does not create statusbar window, where everything is fine. I am using Visual Studio 8. See following code please:

Code:
HWND hwnd = CreateWindowEx(
	0,  
	STATUSCLASSNAME,(TCHAR*)NULL,
	WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | SBARS_SIZEGRIP,
      	0,0,0,0,
	parenthwnd,                    //it is valid
	(HMENU)unique_ID,         //1005
	GetModuleHandle(NULL),
	NULL
);
Where:

1. I have initialized Common Controls using ICC_BAR_CLASSES, so it is not issue
2. parenthwnd is valid window handle


Question:

1. Why there is no window created ? where hwnd is NULL as result of this function.
2. I am compiling it as UNICODE application, can this be issue?
3. You have any other suggestion using which I can make it work ?


Waiting for the kind reply. It is really strange how statusbar is not being created.
