Hello,
I'm trying to get in WinAPI the same style like in the search control of firefox, this grey text with the name of the search engine which disappears when you click on it. I found Edit_SetCueBannerText(), included the requierd comctrl.h, but when I compile it I get this error:

`Edit_SetCueBannerText' undeclared

What can I do?
Thanks a lot

As you can see on the documentation of the Edit_SetCueBannerText Macro (Windows)[^], to use te macro your application should target at least Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

Then, accordingly with the documntation at Using The Windows Headers (Windows)[^], you should add the lines below to your source code, before than including any system header:

<br />
#if !defined(WINVER)<br />
#define WINVER 0x0501 // Target Windows XP or later<br />
#endif<br />
<br />
#if !defined(_WIN32_WINNT)<br />
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501 // Target Windows XP or later<br />
#endif<br />

You also need to setup the manifest of your application to target the Common Controls version 6.0 (i.e. Comctl32.dll version 6.0).

it didn't work, same error again.
the manifest created Dev C++ automatically, this is it:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly
  xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
  manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    name="DevCpp.Apps.WakeUp"
    processorArchitecture="x86"
    version="1.0.0.0"
    type="win32"/>
<description>test</description>
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="x86"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
            language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

could be anything wrong with it?
