Determine control version at runtime

In order to avoid bombing and exiting my program ungracefully I'd like to run a series of "integrity check" tests when the program first loads. Among them, would be a test to see if all the controls I'm using are registered on the user's computer and what their individual version numbers are.

Is there an API (I'm writing this is C++) I can use in order to see if a control is registered and what its version number is? This would have to be an cross windows-platform API, that works on 98, me, 2000, etc.

Thanx a lot!
