XP Look in VC 6

I'm using windows XP how do I get the XP look in a project created on VC 6?

Create a manifest file call myapp.exe.manifest (where myapp is the name of your application. Put this in it:

Code:

---

<?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="MyCompany.MyProduct.MyProduct"
                type="win32"/>
        <description>Some description.</description>
        <dependency>
                <dependentAssembly>
                        <assemblyIdentity
                                type="win32"
                                name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
                                version="6.0.0.0"
                                processorArchitecture="X86"
                                publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
                                language="*"/>
                </dependentAssembly>
        </dependency>
</assembly>

The manifest tells Windows to use the version 6 common controls. Put the manifest file in the same directory as your exe.

Thanks for the answer, but I didn't manage to get the XP Look.
I put the file under the res directory and under the Debug directory, I have inserted in the .RC file the following line:
IDR_MANIFEST RT_MANIFEST "res\\XPLook.manifest"
and in the Resource.h file the following line:
#define IDR_MANIFEST CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID

Is something missing?

Does this help?

As far as I know, you just have to build the project. I use XP but I don't use the XP look. I wanted to show my program using the XP look so I changed my theme to use it. My program was shown using the XP look (or at least I thought it did).
