I am using a manifest to give my program the xp style. For the most part, this works well and is giving me the look I want. However, a couple of CPropertyPageEx's have the old darker grey background. Code wise they relatively simple classes derived from CPropertyPageEx that contain some controls, etc.
One potential difference is that the page has a custom ctrl in it, although this doesn't seem consistent either as some pages with a custom ctrl are the lighter xp colour.
Any general thoughts as to how or why this would occur? I know that isn't much information to go on, but there doesn't appear to be much of a difference.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Does your control draw itself ? If so, then themes won't have any effect.

The custom control does draw itself, but shouldn't the property page still adopt the xpstyle? The custom ctrl is doing it's own thing, that's fine, but the property page is still dark grey.

try the EnableThemeDialogTexture() function
eg. call it like EnableThemeDialogTexture(hWnd, ETDT_ENABLETAB) when the a page is being initialized, with hWnd being the handle of the particular page....
ofcourse this funciton is available only for Windows XP

This option works, thanks. Is there anyway to accomplish this without the dll? It just seems odd that the other pages are adopting the xp style, while a couple are not. This seems like a bit of a hack to fix those couple of pages. It works, but it doesn't really spread light on why it's happening in the first place.
Thoughts?
Thanks for the post. Good solution for the time being

Well in my very limited experience this sort of problem occurs when tabbed dialogs are made in an 'unconventional' sort of way...e.g. like in http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/AndLawtabsetdlg.asp...
ofcourse it could be due to some other reason in your case;P...

I am completely frustrated. I am running Microsoft Visual C++ vers 6.0 and have created an application using the Microsoft App Wizard file/new, MFC Wizard(exe) module. It generates all of the "skeleton" code that will support menues, dialogs, etc. I am using it as: a Single Document, no Document/View architechture support, no document support, no features, no project style, pretty much a default application. The App Wizard generates the workspace and when I compile and run, I get two link error lnk2001, unresolved external references for On_Cancel() and OnOK(). I have tried all resolutions but still get the errors. What am I doing wrong and how does one find out where the variable are and why they are unresolved references. Any suggestions will help. Thanks at sid_kraft@msn.com.

That's odd. Are they on a class that has been generated ? Are there calls to On_Cancel and On_OK in the code ? Perhaps you can track down what is making it look for those calls, and perhaps you have to delete some code, or just add definitions for those methods to the class in question ?

Anybody know how to store stuff in Windows Protected Storage? Outlook does it for email passwords, and IE stores autocomplete passwords there. But I have no luck trying to figure out the API via Google or MSDN. So am I missing something obvious, or is this an undocumented feature?
Thanks,
Mike

LsaOpenPolicy, LsaStorePrivateData are your friends.
Of course, this is WinNT and variants only, no Win9x/ME stuff here!

Thanks... Although I saw this in the function docs: Do not use the LSA private data functions. Instead, use the CryptProtectData and CryptUnprotectData functions.
I am currently using CryptProtectData, but that doesn't actually store the data anywhere. So I wonder why the rather strongly-worded discouragement 
Thanks again,

Beats me. After all, DCOM relies on the LSA private data functions at the moment, as passwords are stored in there. Of course, you could CryptProtectData something, and then store it using LSA
I recently saw gadgets which combine a CF card reader and fingerprint scanner, or in one case a HDD and fingerprint scanner. That's my idea of security, although to be really safe, I'd want the scanner to be able to measure the O2 level in the finger as well, to be sure it wasn't chopped off. Paranoid? Me? Who's been talking??

After reading that several times, I would say start with requirements and specifications.

Hi, all.
Is there any convenient way in MFC to see if a user can write to particular directory, other than opening a file for writing in that directory and catching exception if writing is not allowed?
Best regards.

But wouldn't that be the most assured way?

Of course, it would. But maybe there's some means, made especially for that purpose?

hi all,
I am using eVC++ 4.0 for windows mobile programming and I have a problem:
I want to include a browse for folder dialog in my application but when every I attemp to link the linker gives me an unresolved external symbol problem.
I googled for the problem and most sites say that this API is not implemented in the ceshell.lib.
Anyone used this function successfuly with eVC++ 4.0, 2003se sdk??
if not, are there any easy alternatives?
Thanks

What symbol? Are you linking with shell32.lib?

no, I am programming for windows mobile, so I link ceshell.lib.

Does that DLL have an exported SHBrowseForFolder() function?

well, thanks david for ur replies.
In my search through the net, I found that there is a documentation fault in MSDN, MSDN says that this function is supported under wince 4.0 and above, actually it is declared in the header file, but it is not implemented in the .lib file - this is according to many sites on the net. So, it is not a linker problem.
Is there a simple alternative?
