Hello:

I have problem. I create an application that have Office 2003 theme. The toolbox, menu, and main frame GUI look like Office 2003. When I create new dialog box, and DoModal(), the dialog appear like OLD style.

I look into Office 2003 GUI, there are sample of WordPad. In the WordPad project, I see all dialog box have CCSDialog inheritance. I copy/paste the chicdial.h and chicdial.cpp into my project. I try to create a dialog that inheritance the CCSDialog dialog box. I still don't see the Office 2003 dialog apperance. All buttons still appear like OLD style windows.

What I am missing in the dialog box creation that prevent me from seeing Office 2003 dialog box?

I am trying to create a MDI application.  In the menu dispatch, I launch the dialog box on the screen.

Mike

Try adding a manifest file to your project.

Thank you, but I still have problems.

I add the manifest file into my project. The GUI still appear like OLD style. What I am missing in the Manifest file to convert all old dialog control into Office 2003 GUI.

============= Here  is my Manifest file =============

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    version="1.0.0.0"
    processorArchitecture="X86"
    name="Microsoft.Windows.EasyFlowChart"
    type="win32"
/>
<description>Easy Flowchart</description>
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
         &nbs p;  type="win32"
         &nbs p;  name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
         &nbs p;  version="6.0.0.0"
         &nbs p;  processorArchitecture="X86"
         &nbs p;  publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
         &nbs p;  language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

Are you using Windows XP?  This only works on Windows XP.
