Windows Common Controls (Using specific version)

I need to use Windows Common Controls v6.0 to see new style UIs. I know I can do it by a manifest dependency but when I haven't access to the manifest (or source code... it's not my app but I have a DLL which will be attached to the process and every CommCtrls I need will be called from that DLL) what should I do to specify Windows Common Controls version for that process? Is there any API or someway to do it? [By the way, I'm using C++ & VS2015]

Try this in your DLL:

#if defined(_M_IX86)
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#elif defined(_M_X64)
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='amd64' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#else
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#endif
