The buttons will have the XP look and feel by default if run under XP, but

Hmm, that is puzzling. Obviously I'm wrong about the default, but we've
deployed 300+ of our apps on both XP Home and XP Pro Apps and they all
switch accordingly.
I'll look around some more and see if I can find anything...sorr y about the
bum tip, I just took it for granted that all XP systems/SPs etc would have
the same behavior.
I'll get back shortly if I can find anything.

Oddly, they will not be by default.
What you need to do is change the buttons 'flatstyle' property to be system,
not standard as they probably are
Then the buttons will be XP style then.
If you using VS 2003, then search on XP Theme the help section filtered to
'visual basic' and you will see the doco on how do do other controls as
well.

Thanks for the tip, that makes sense. We always use System, so when our
stuff showed up in XP format by default on the XP boxes, I just assumed
(incorrectly) that it was the default behavior.
Thanks again,

Nope... you still need to make a call to Application.Ena bleVisualStyles () in the
application. I just tried it here. Just changing the button's FlatStyle
property did not do the trick.

Actually... nope. If you set the FlatStyle property of the button to System,
you still get standard, flat buttons unless you make a call to
Application.Ena bleVisualStyles () in the application.
Just tried it here.

Don't use that! I've found Application.Ena bleVisualStyles to be very buggy
in .Net Framework 1.1. Instead, create a manifest to reference comctl32.dll
version 6. Just create a text file with the following contents:
-----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes "?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:sche mas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion ="1.0">
<assemblyIdenti ty
version="1.0.0. 0"
processorArchit ecture="X86"
name="CompanyNa me.ProductName. YourApplication "
type="win32"
/>
<description>Yo ur application description here.</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssem bly>
<assemblyIdenti ty
type="win32"
name="Microsoft .Windows.Common-Controls"

processorArchit ecture="X86"
publicKeyToken= "6595b64144ccf1 df"
language="*"
/>
</dependentAssemb ly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
-----
Call that file 'myapp.exe.mani fest' (replace myapp.exe with the name of your
application's executable) and put it in the same directory as the
executable.

Thanks for the post. Just for the record, what kind of issues have you found
when using Application.Ena bleVisualStyles ? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
