How to use mfc71.dll and msvcr71.dll

[Fabian Heuberger]

Hi there

I've seen some apps proged with this new styles (styles like VS.NET). I
think, this apps are using the mfc71.dll and msvcr71.dll from M$. I
don't know how i have to implement this dll's that i can get this new
styles (menu, toolbars,...).

Does somebody know how to use this? the best way would be some samples
with this dll's.

Thanks a lot

Fabian,

The new themes support is baked into the operating system. You can
access it by using the static EnableVisualStyles method on the Application
class before you enter your message loop (before the static Run method on
the Application class is called).

If a control supports the FlatStyle property, then the value must be set
to FlatStyle.System in order for it to be drawn in the new style.

This is only supported in the 1.1 version of the framework.

Hope this helps.

Fabian,

If the property doesn't exist, then you don't have to set it. You only
have to set it when the property does exist. Otherwise, it will just work
in the other controls when you make the call to EnableVisualStyles.
