Dialog Control Visual Theme, how I can set the visual themes of the dialog controls to look like the XP style?

Hello!

I am relatively new to WinAsm Studio and I just wanted to ask how I can set the visual themes of the dialog controls to look like the XP style. Currently, when I assemble a *.wap* with a *.rc* in the project that produces a dialog box, the controls look like the Windows 95 or 98 controls, even though I use the Windows XP visual theme.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

Extract the attached file anywhere you like (probably in your project's folder) and then Resources tab-Others-Resources-Add and select the XML file you extrtacted above. Go all and your executable should use the XP themes.

Please let me know if it helps,

It works now!

Thanks!

hi akyprian,

this is exactly what is was searching for.. but however, in my case, only the listbox control is shown using XP-Style, the other controls are not affected... do you or somebody else know a reason for this?

BTW, i am using InitCommonControls. In WinASM Visual Mode, the controls are shown correctly.

Thanks in advance,

Phoenix

Are you doing some custom painting? In that case the XP look will be disabled, unless you use some specific APIs to do it.
