How do I get XP style controls in MSDev?
I'm writing applications using MSDev 2005 and I can't help but notice that all my applications have the Win2000 style controls instead of the funny XP ones.
Why is this? How can I get it to use the new style controls? Thank you... |
Might be a stupid question, but:
are you running Windows XP? Or Windows 2000? |
I'm running Windows XP in XP UI mode...

I think you have to use something called a "manifest file".. sorry, I don't know much more than that as I've never used one, but I think its just a text file with some kind of description that needs to be in your project for it to use the new controls..

Yeah, thanks. Luckily, I figured this out and, yes, you do need a manifest file. It needs an entry that looks like this:
Code:
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" /> |
