Re: Toolbar Buttons

Geoff,


I was hoping to have a toolbar with raised
buttons. Can't see where that is done though.

If you're using WinXP (or later) then I don't think the horrible default theme
gives you any choice in the matter -- it just ignores that setting.

If your app has no manifest (either as a separate file or embedded as a
resource within the exe), then XP appears to fall back to the GUI code from
Win2K, and raised toolbar buttons work again. Also, if your app /does/ have a
manifest, but the user has selected the "classic" theme[*] (I think it's
called), then XP appears to use different code, this time to emulate the Win2K
look -- which usually produces similar results.

[*] Which is how I run XP.
