At the bottom of stdafx.h, there are some wizzard generated lines. They begin with:

#ifdef _UNICODE
#endif

The line that make the controls "3D":

#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")

They contain Windows common controls manifiest.
Remove the first ifdef (unicode) and the last endif.

The common controls manifiest work ok for both unicode and multibyte (at least I had never had a problem).

Hope it helps.
