I am trying to use the List View Control on my company computer. I do not have the reference files:

Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP6) or mscomctl.ocx

However I do have the file:

comctl32.dll

which is in this directory: C:\Windows\System32

I noticed that this different file comctl32.ocx is mentioned on Microsoft's Website:

Download Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls from Official Microsoft Download Center

What is the difference? Is there another Object Library I can reference in order to access this control? I would rather not deal with our IT department if I can help it...

Here is a link to some other information about the control:

LIST VIEW CONTROL

In addition what are the differences between dll files and ocx? I would like to learn more on this subject matter if possible.
