Windows XP Style

HI, I have been wondering how to make a program with the XP style buttons, edit boxes, etc. in it. I have made a GUI, but it's ugly. How can I make the controls look like the ones on say, a windows property sheet or something like that? I have tried the tutorial on http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/AddXpStyle.aspx , but it ERASED ALL OF MY CONTROLS.

I figured it out, you have to include #include , link with the comctl32 library, and put InitCommonControls() in your WM_CREATE message handler. Then you can get on a command line and edit your program with the one I mentioned above ( http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/AddXpStyle.aspx) .
