In the CommonControls sample program, the slider control is colored green at the top of the slider, and the beginning and end tick marks are a faded gray. My app, which also has a slider control created in the same way, has a plain gray slider and darker tick marks. Any ideas on why the 2 are different? I've tried setting different themes, but with no luck.

I don't know what a manifest is. Can you please explain, and tell me how to use it? I saw in the sample program that there was a manifest.xml file in the RES dir, but didn't know what it was for.

A manifest is a little piece of XML that tells XP's common controls to
use the XP themes. It has nothing to do with codejock or any of
their products, so don't expect a lot of help with setting it up.
There is plenty of information to be found via google though.
There is a little bit of information at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm/sdk_dependencies_5wvi.asp - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/e n-us/xmlsdk/htm/sdk_dependencies_5wvi.asp
as well.

I did a copy/paste of the manifest references in the resource.h and .rc files into my app, and now it looks the same! Will read up on this manifest thing. Thanks for the quick help!
