Upgraded MFC app does not have xp styles

I upgraded an MFC app from 7 --> 8 and my dialogs do not have the xp styles. Is there something I have to do? I thought 8 embedded the manifest for you. Thanks Kurt

Upgraded apps are not the same as newly created apps. i.e. the project settings (etc) are not changed behind your back (which is probably a good thing. I used the following to get the XP style in my app: http://www.codeproject.com/w2k/xptheme.asp[^] Warren

Found this somewhere, put into stdafx.h, pretty easy. #pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
