manifest file and Options Box [RESOLVED]

[~*McoreD*~]

Hi there,

In every occasion, when try to get the XP Style using the manifest file, I am getting a black bar for Option boxes.

Please check the screenshot.

Can you please explain me the reason or a fix for this.

Much appreciated.

Try setting the form to AutoRedraw = True

Unfortunately no luck yet dude. I also got the modXPStyle to initialise the comctl32.dll, but it is still like that. Appreciate your help.

How are you setting the XPStyle, through a control or code?

[~*McoreD*~]

I have added the modXPStyle to Project I am currently working on. I heard that when you have the modXPStyle added to a project, it will initialise the comctl32.dll and will able to acquire XP Style via the Manifest file. It works except for this problem with Option boxes.

Sorry, that module is no good to me, im a Win98 User.

Someone with XP should help though......

This is a problem with the manifest file. If you put your option boxes within a picture box you should find that they display properly.

Hi PaulTilley,

It works great mate.
The problem occurs as soon as you draw an Option box within a Frame.

1. So I drew the Frame.
2. Drew a PictureBox within the Frame.
3. Drew the OptionBox within the PictureBox (as you adviced).

Now it works perfect!

Thanks very much.
