XP style check box?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,

I have Xtreme toolkit standard and want to make the controls in my CXTResizeDialog appear in XP style. I have changed the button styles like it is shown in the Button example and it worked fine. But I could find the price of code which turns the check boxes, radio buttons and group boxes to XP style. How can I do this???

Best regards,
Thomas

	,well, I think you should draw this by yourself, some Xtreme toolkit's classes have virtual functions, you can use them! there is no crosscut! However you can visite http://www.codeguru.com , there are a lot of examples about how to draw windows control! Hope this help! Edited by xred

	I agree with SuperMario! You can add a manifest file to your application, but it only works with Windows XP or +!In fact if you add a manifest file to your VC6.0 or VC.net ,your IDE may be nicer than before! Here is about how to add a manifest file!, https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1214& KW=manifest+ If you want your application has windows xp style in Windows2000 or 9x,you should draw this by yourself! Here is an example about checkbox: screen shot: code: 2004-10-21_051614_XPcheckbox.rar Here is an example about button: screen shot: code: 2004-10-21_051914_Button.rar CXPStyleButtonST v1.0 screen shot: code: 2004-10-21_053313_cxpstylebuttonST.rar By the way, they are not the best!There may be some bugs!

	Hello Xred, thank you for your samples. Yes as far as I have red it is an manifest issue. The only problem I have is that my test application was allready created with common control manifest and this look like all the samples I have seen. So I dont know where the actual problem is. Maybe it is somehow dependent on my system configuration? I will try to solve the problem to night, at the moment I have to do some other work. Have a nice day and thank you agian for you help!
