I've created the <exename>.exe.manifest for my application and it works fine as long as the file is in the same dir as the executable.

I am using Borland C# Builder. How would I go about creating a resource file from that manifest file I have so I can import it
into my project.

Thanks for any info.

Hi,

In .Net 1.1 you can call "Application.EnableVisualStyles();" will use XP
style, without the need to any manifest file.

Omg. Lol. Thanks! I though it was to much to do this simple task.

I tried that and found the method does indeed exist, but didn't work. Any

The method is broken. Don't listen to workarounds about running DoEvents
afterwards, you'll leave yourself with odd bugs if you go down that route.
Stick with the manifest method.

Hmmm. Interesting. I dont mind using the manifest since I already have it working. I just want to include it in the exe not at an
extra file. Any ideas? I know its easy in VS .NET, but i dont have it. In VS .NET you would just add a resource and in the add
resource dialog press import and import the manifest with custom type and id. In borland its either you add reasy resource or
nothing. It doesnt let you import resources. Is there a tool that would allow me to do something like this manually.

Thanks.
