MFC GUI style XP

how to make MFC app look like one on the left?

http://s4.postimage.org/m13j3m201/guii.png

Both projects are in VC2008

I have sources of both those windows and sources are the same but I can't make one on the right look nicer.

I've added this into linker manifest

"type='Win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'"

but no good, still the same.

How to make it?

VS 2008 changed the way theme support is handled. Try adding this to you stdafx.h file:

Code:

---

#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")

Mike thank you very much, you solved it.
