I installed CodeJock yesterday. I am running in the VS6/sp6 environment. I cannot find from the included docs how to get XP style themed controls in my app. I build the sample CommandBarIcons and I get the themed controls but I cannot get them in my app. I have looked for differences between the code and build settings of the 2 apps. The only thing I can find is the special AboutDlg included by the sample. How do I make this work in my own app?
 
Thanks,
 
Michael

Are you referring to the menus or the controls in your dialogs?
 
 
If it's the controls in your dialogs, have you embedded a manifest?  If not, try this article: http://www.codeproject.com/w2k/xptheme.asp

Aha! That did it! Thanks. I just wish the CodeJock docs had pointed this out or provided a tutorial.
