Hello,
i have just installed masmed and created a form ect. Now i was wondering, whether i could make the Style of the form like Windows Xp or Vista. I have included the xp style manifest, just like in c++, but the buttons still look kinda weird. By the way, i have windows 7 running.
If anyone knows a solution, i would be greatful.

Hi morph

I have no idea about Windows 7
You probably need to change the xml content.

Well, is there anything else to do besides creating a new resource file and adding the xp manifest to it?

You can also keep the manifest file outside of the application and name it my_app_name.exe.manifest.

Depending on your application you might have to call InitCommonControls as noted here: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=309366

Other than that it should work.

Finally it worked, big thanks to you guys. I think it was the missing InitCommonControls. Thanks.
