Designing in XP, running in old theme
« on: December 22, 2004, 02:08:38 pm »
I'm running the latest version of Lazarus 0.9.2 in Windows XP.
While I'm designing my GUI, the Lazarus IDE uses XP themed controls.
However, when I run my program, I do not get the same XP themed controls , I get the old Windows 98 styled controls.
Is there a way to have the same look as the Lazarus IDE in my own programs?

Thanks.

You need to create a manifest for your app.
name it yourapp.exe.manifest or include it as resource (do a search on manifest on the forum)

There is a manifest in the Lazarus dir, check lazarus.rc, lazarus.res and lazarus.pp(i think) it contains a {$R} directive, also check the windres utility.
