   Sorry, I never used Tasm (any version), but WRT to GetProcAddress I   
   don't believe there is any other way to guarantee you will get the   
   right function.   
      
   One suggestion though:   
      
   If you know the DLL is already resident - because you static linked or   
   already have loaded it dynamically - you should use GetModuleHandle   
   instead of LoadLibrary.  Calls to LoadLibrary must be paired with   
   calls to FreeLibrary because they maintain usage reference counts on   
   the loaded module. If you don't pair them properly, modules can end up   
   either prematurely unloaded or locked into memory.

   https://www.dll-files.com/comctl32.dll.html   
   Look near the bottom of the page for 6.x   
      
   Hope this helps.
