What happend when running a program with XP Manifest file in Win98 or W2K? [Resolved]

[jcis]

What happend when the manifest file and the InitCommonControlsVB() function start working on old Operating Systems?

Did somebody find any crash??

I'm trying to ensure this won't bring crashes when users run my program in their machines, no matter what SO they use.

By the way, as other people, I see black checkboxes, flickering controls inside de frames, and some strange frame's caption font change, I know some of this can be solved using a picture inside de frame, but I ask, this is happening to everybody, or just some people? Is it related to the language configured in the manifest file? (my machine and vb6 language is spanish).

Thanks.

If you run a program with a manifest for XP styles on a pre-XP OS it will simply not apply the styles. The issues you state about the flickering and black checkboxes are not because of an OS or anything but because a bug. You can fix the bug by placing the control of concern in a container control with a device context, like a picturebox control.
