WinXP Manifest

(1/1)

post from old forum:
How do I use the manifest in a
the resource file , to generate
the XP style ??
The standard solution Pelles generates
does not work for me.
The strange thing about it is that
when I rename the XML file in e.g :
myapp.exe.manifest then the XP style
shows up.
So the manifest file is good.
But when I use it from the .RC file
it doesn't work.
Does the manifest needs a special ID ??

post from old forum:
The resource ID must be 1 (CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID) and you need to call InitCommonControls() in the program. AFAIK, this was fixed to version 2.72.
