be58d2003 Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 I am using VS 2002, which means it came with the .NET 1.0 Framework. I want my forms to use the new Windows XP style controls. I have created the manifest and done everything my book has told me to do. However, even at run time, the buttons are still the old boring buttons. Do I have to write some type of code to read the manifest file, or just what do I have to do to get it to work? Thanks. Quote Firefighters do it with a big hose...
AlexCode Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 Did you tryed to just do this? Just make your app start with a Sub Main like this and don't use any kind of brainwasher Manifests... Public Sub Main() Application.EnableVisualStyles() Application.Run(New myStartForm) Application.DoEvents() End Sub Alex :p Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
*Experts* mutant Posted April 11, 2004 *Experts* Posted April 11, 2004 According to the documentation EnableVisualStyles is not available in .NET 1.0. So you have to try with the manifest. Quote
AlexCode Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Ho! Sorry about that version mistake... How aout that little "trick" for using fw 1.1 on vs.net 2002? Could work I think... I'm just trying to get you away from manifests... sucks... Alex :p Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
be58d2003 Posted April 12, 2004 Author Posted April 12, 2004 I was thinking about getting VS 2003, but I really can't spare the money right now. I am just doing the programming thing as hobby for now, until I get good at it. Quote Firefighters do it with a big hose...
AlexCode Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Try to use the FW 1.1 on your current version of VS.net... It should work... Alex :p Quote Software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody except the end user.
be58d2003 Posted April 12, 2004 Author Posted April 12, 2004 I already have 1.1 installed, but it is the redistributable and it does not work. Quote Firefighters do it with a big hose...
iebidan Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 If you use VS.NET 2002 you won't be able to use .NET FW 1.1, VS.NET will target FW 1.0, you need VS.NET 2003 to use FW 1.1 or 1.0 Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap
be58d2003 Posted April 12, 2004 Author Posted April 12, 2004 But, as the original question goes... get someone help me with the manifest file problem? As to why it isn't workinjg?! Quote Firefighters do it with a big hose...
