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 - http://www.codeguru.com , there are a lot of examples about how to draw windows control!

Hope this help!

I agree, this sounds like a manifest problem

Take a look at https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1214&KW=manifest+ - this post

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+ - 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:

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!
