MFC Learning Note 3---Make dialog style and system unified

One thing that depressed me for a long time, in the Edit dialog box in VS or click the Preview is the Win7 style of the button and dialog box:

Click the Test dialog box:

However, the resulting application is this:

So people are very uncomfortable ah, button style back to the version of N years ago, retro version AH has wood

The solution I found online is as follows:

First in the Res directory to build a text file, named Windows.manifest suffix:. manifest

Then open it with Notepad and put the following code:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" standalone= "yes"?>

<assembly xmlns= "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestversion= "1.0" >

<assemblyidentity

Name= "Microsoft.Windows.XXXX"

Processorarchitecture= "x86"

version= "5.1.0.0"

Type= "Win32"/>

<description>windows shell</description>

<dependency>

<dependentAssembly>

<assemblyidentity

Type= "Win32"

Name= "Microsoft.windows.common-controls"

version= "6.0.0.0"

Processorarchitecture= "x86"

Publickeytoken= "6595B64144CCF1DF"

Language= "*"

/>

</dependentAssembly>

</dependency>

</assembly>

Then save.

Then import the resources and add the file Windows.manifest to the project's resources:

Insert, resource, import, file type to all files, locate the Windows.manifest-> Pop-up dialog box

After the resource type is filled in, OK.

Recompile the link, the dialog effect has changed.
