This is a standard MessageBox displayed in the XTP CustomizeDlg sample program:






This a standard MessageBox from somewhere else:






As you can see the customizedlg sample is blessed with the stylish buttons in all its windows. My question is: How can I set the buttons in my application to have these nice buttons as well (and not the ugly buttons in the 2nd image)?

And rename the mainfest file to "YourApplication.exe.mainfest"!

If you don't konw how to add a mainfest file,you can build an application with  VS.net,then you will find a mainfest file in debug!By the way,this file's type is xml,you can open it with notebook,and you will find some useful infomation!

Hope this help!

Yeah thanks it works great

I added a manifest file to allow xp looks on XP. Its a simple procedure - I'll write it here if any1 is interested:

1. create a new xml manifest file with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
 processorArchitecture="x86"
 version="5.1.0.0"
 type="win32"
 name="Application name"
/>
<dependency>
 <dependentAssembly>
  <assemblyIdentity
   type="win32"
   name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
   version="6.0.0.0"
   publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
   language="*"
   processorArchitecture="x86"
  />
 </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

 

2. insert a new Imported resource (the xml file from step 1) to the application -

    - the resource type should be 24

    -the reesource id is 1

Thats it
