ComCtl32.dll Version 6 with Qt

I'm trying to implement a balloon tip. By following the instructions on this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760252%28VS.85%29.aspx

I managed to implement the balloon, but the balloon is not using the appropriate theme under Win7. I read somewhere else that for the balloon to use the right visual style, ComCtl32.dll Version 6 must be used.

Now, my development platform is Qt. Is there any way to tell Qt to use ComCtl32.dll Version 6? Or am I forced to use Visual Studio?
