I came across an interesting MSDN page
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309366
Describing a little file called a manifest that allows XP theming to be applied to VB6 programs (and apparently VB5 programs 🙂 ).
So I tried it out on some of our applications at work, and it worked… mostly. Some controls, such as date pickers, are not getting themed.
My boss saw my experiment and got very excited.
I am having trouble researching these files and how they work. the word manifest seems popular among languages. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
