I have defined my status to CXTStatus, how ever it still look like in old style.

How to solve this problem?

There is no 2003 style really, just Office XP or normal. Unfortunately the CXTStatusBar prevents the Windows XP shaded status bar, so what I used was:

class CXTStatusBarEx : public CXTStatusBar
{
    DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CXTStatusBarEx)
    afx_msg void OnPaint() { CStatusBar::OnPaint(); }
    afx_msg BOOL OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) { return CStatusBar::OnEraseBkgnd(pDC); }
    DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CXTStatusBarEx, CXTStatusBar)
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CXTStatusBarEx, CXTStatusBar)
    ON_WM_PAINT()
    ON_WM_ERASEBKGND()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

I suppose a xtAfxData.bXPMode = TRUE; might help someplace if thats what you mean though.

Thanks .But however i did not find code like that in some demos provided by codejock.

I only find that the statusbar's class name is changed from CStatus to CXTStatus.

I think you need to re-read mypost, I wrote that little class CXTStatusBarEx and thats what I use, basically to call directly to the CStatusBar paint routines while still getitng all the other useful functionality of the CXTStatusBar.
