Dev-cpp XP manifest file.

Mar 6th, 2009
Hello,
I've started learning how to make simple GUI programs in cpp using theforgers tutorial. However I was going to add XP style to my program and I found a page that showed me exacly how to do it for VC++ 6. The problem when I had added the lines in my resource.h file and my res.rc file was that my program refused to start. The window didn't show up. When I removed the line in the resourcefile it showed up again but with the old 95/98/ME/2000 style. What should i do to make it work.

This is my .rc file:

You haven't posted the manifest file.
Did you InitCommonControlsEx() ?

  19. /> 
  20. </dependentAssembly> 
  21. </dependency> 
  22. </assembly>
I added InitCommonControlsEx(); at a random location but the compiler said it wasn't defined. What library is InitCommonControlsEx() in?

InitCommonControlsEx (see the table at the bottom)
Try putting it in your WM_CREATE handler.

I still get an error:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  Main.cpp In function `BOOL DlgProc(HWND__*, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM)': 
  2. Main.cpp `InitCommonControlsEx' undeclared (first use this function) 
  3.   (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) 
  4.  Makefile.win [Build Error]  [Main.o] Error 1

My includes:
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <windows.h>
  2. #include <commctrl.h>
  3. #include "resource.h" 
  4. using namespace std;

I added the WM_CREATE in the Message switch

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. case WM_CREATE:
  2.     InitCommonControlsEx();
  3. break;

In your project, #define _WIN32_IE to at least 0x0300 .

InitCommonControlsEx() takes a pointer to a INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX struct. You are not using the function correctly ...

I added
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0301
in resources.h and created the struct
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.             INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX InitCtrlEx;
  2.             InitCtrlEx.dwICC = ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES;
  3.             InitCtrlEx.dwSize=sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);
  4.             InitCommonControlsEx(&InitCtrlEx);
but the INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX seems to be undeclared:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Main.cpp `INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX' undeclared (first use this function)
  2.

resource.h is not the place to define _WIN32_IE. Do it instead above the #includes, i.e.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #define _WIN32_IE 0x0301
  2. #include <windows.h>
  3. #include <commctrl.h>

Or alternatively in the project's configuration.
