I am converting the old project from VS 6 to VS 10.
My headerctrl lost xp theme attributes and fell back to the windows classic. There are must be something wrong with new project settings I suppose.

You need to add the following pragma to your source file, or the content string to your manifest (under the Linker section of Project Properties):

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