Hi, I made an app with an ok and cancel button in visual studio c++ 2005, but they are blocky (old look). How can I enable the XP look and feel so these buttons look nice? My computer is running XP. Thanks, Max
Probably the easiest way is to open the stdafx.h file and near the bottom, you'll find an
#ifdef _UNICODE
...
...
#endifRemove the #ifdef and #endif lines (leave the others). This will enable the manifest which will give you the new look. Hope that helps.
