Yeah thanks it works great

I added a manifest file to allow xp looks on XP. Its a simple procedure - I'll write it here if any1 is interested:

1. create a new xml manifest file with the following content:

processorArchitecture="x86"
version="5.1.0.0"
type="win32"
name="Application name"
/>

     type="win32"
   name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
   version="6.0.0.0"
   publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
   language="*"
   processorArchitecture="x86"
  />

2. insert a new Imported resource (the xml file from step 1) to the application -

- the resource type should be 24

-the reesource id is 1

Thats it

This is a standard MessageBox displayed in the XTP CustomizeDlg sample program:

This a standard MessageBox from somewhere else:

As you can see the customizedlg sample is blessed with the stylishbuttons in all its windows. My question is: How can I set the buttonsin my application to have these nice buttons as well (and not the uglybuttons in the 2nd image)?
