Program Option buttons "Black out" {RESOLVED}

**stilekid007** · May 3rd, 2005, 11:00 PM

Hello,

With this program I am adding a XP Style Visual... However once I add the XpStyle.ctl and Manifest.res and then add the XpStyle component to the form (not the Frame) then the "Request Registration key" and the "Register" Option buttons become Black... Can someone take a look at the attached files and see why it does that?

Thank you!

P.S. Step By Step Instructions are in Instructions.txt

Its a bug with the XP manifest running under XP. You need to place the option buttons "inside" a picturebox
control to elimintate it.

As a frame does not have an hDC which is used to draw the XP style, whereas PictureBoxes and Forms do.

Yes, frames are also affected when nested in other frames too.
