Themed vs Un-Themed ( classic desktop )

[Rick Lipkin]

To All

There always seems to be one ( really important ) person in the office that uses your application in a classic desktop mode .. basically non-themed. I always use the XP Manifest to give my programs a nice clean looking ( modern ) rounded edges, etc .. effect.

When I run my program in a non themed ( classic ) desktop .. all the detail in my Dialog boxes ( use transparent flag ) are virtually gone .. I see no text, no fields .. just buttons.

If I compile the same program without the XP manifest that classic users desktop resolves my program just fine and can see all the dialog detail. Is it possible at run-time to detect a classic ( non-themed ) desktop and if IsThemed () ?? is false .. to ignore or over-ride the XP manifest to just show non-themed resolution ?

Thanks

AppHasManifest() --> .t. if application is linked with manifest, whether or not themes are enabled on PC

IsThemeActive() --> .t. if theme is active on the PC

IsAppThemed() --> .t. only when both the above are true
