Hi,

You need add manifest to your application (copy from any our sample)

I purchased the Xtreme Controls ActiveX package a couple years ago and have been happy with it.  But today I tried using the TaskDialog control for the first time and while I generally like it, I can't seem to figure out how to get the pushbuttons on it to display using an XP theme.  They always display as square, boxy, Windows 2000 and earlier style.  I'm using VB6.  Here's some sample code:

With TaskDialog1
    .MessageBoxStyle = True
    .WindowTitle = "Test Title"
    .MainInstructionText = "Checking button styles"
    .ContentText = "This dialog is showing old styles"
    .MainIcon = xtpTaskIconError
    .AddButton "OK", TaskDialogCommonButtons.xtpTaskButtonOk
    .ShowDialog
End With

Any idea why the OK button isn't displayed with an XP or above them?
