Messagebox and Manifest
-
When I use the MessageBox function and a Manifest file under XP, the MessageBox isn't displayed. Without Manifest file it does work. What's wrong? Sjoerd van Leent LPCTSTR Dutch = TEXT("Double Dutch :-)");

This thread is DAMN old, i know. But for people who actually wanna find the solution (like myself the half of day), here is the answer: XP Manifest indicates that application will use Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls ver. 6.0.0.0 theme extensions. But it DOES NOT ensure that that the common control dynamic-link library (DLL) is loaded. So before calling something even as simple as "MessageBoxA" in the application with such embedded manifest, you should call "InitCommonControls" from "comctl32.dll".
