Hello all,
I need some help/advice on a problem I'm having with giving my application XP styles. I need to know more about how the manifest file integrates with the VB exe. Can anyone suggest where I will get this kind of help?
I have a 3rd party control that I don't want to include in the manifests repaint of the controls. The 3rd party control works by SubClassing off the base Windows Listbox control. I received the following from the 3rd party support "When we create the 3dList, we're actually creating a Windows Listbox, but we tell it
to redirect the paint messages to us, instead of its internal paint code. When you turn on the XP paint style - what you're effectively doing is telling Windows
to steal back the paint code from us."
I need to know if theres a way to code the XML in the manifest file to exclude this control from its repainting or else to add code to the application so that the 3rd party control isn't included.
This is a major problem for me and although I seem to be the only one to have it I would really appriciate any help that I get! I know that this is a very specific problem that may not seem all that interesting but it would be a huge help to me if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
Erin
