WinXP look and res files

How to add WindowsXP.Manifest to res files.
As I use VSX now I only have res (compiled resource files).

Thanks in advance
Otto


To provide the WinXP look to your application
simply add this line to your resources RC file:

1 24 "WindowsXP.Manifest"

Otto,

Another way is to just rename WindowsXP.Manifest to myapp.exe.manifest (where myapp.exe is the actual name of your exe) and include it in the same directory as the exe. It must be included in your installation too.

Thank you James. Never thought that could be so easy.

BTW,
I am on a VISTA PC. If I enable “VISTA STYLE” to get IsThemeActive=.t.
then all the Windows zoom in and out.
Do you know if the zooming can be turned off?

Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

I don't have Vista here. Under XP these kinds of things are available if you right-click on the desktop and select Properties.

The zoom on vista is related to "AERO" theme, just change theme and no more zooming effect
