Alternatively, you can place the XML manifest file in the same directory as your application's executable file. The operating system will load the manifest from the file system first, then check the resource section of the executable. The file system version takes precedence. When you author a Control Panel application, place it in the appropriate category.
Control Panel now supports categorization of Control Panel applications. Support for visual styles can be added to an extension, plug-in, MMC snap-in, or a DLL that is brought into a process. Add the manifest to your snap-in's resource file. You can turn off visual styles for a control or for all controls in a window by calling the SetWindowTheme function as follows:. In the previous example, hwnd is the handle of the window in which to disable visual styles. After the call, the control renders without visual styles.
They display the specified CSS attribute. When specified as part of the content, most CSS properties do apply to elements that have visual styles applied.
By default, visual styles are applied to intrinsic HTML controls on pages displayed in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and later versions. To turn off visual styles, the META tag must be as follows:. If the browser setting and the tag setting do not agree, the page will not apply visual styles. For example, if the META tag is set to "no" and the browser is set to enable visual styles, visual styles will not be applied to the page.
However, if either the browser or META tag is set to "yes" and the other item is not specified, visual styles will be applied. Visual styles might change the layout of your content. Also, if you set certain attributes on intrinsic HTML controls, such as the width of a button, you might find that the label on the button is unreadable under certain visual styles.
You must thoroughly test your content using visual styles to determine whether applying visual styles has an adverse effect on your content and layout. Visual Studio uses the WiX Toolset for its installer.

To use visual styles, your application must be running on an operating system that contains ComCtl If you want your application to use ComCtl For information on how to create an application manifest that enables your application to use visual styles, see Enabling Visual Styles. For common controls, no further action is necessary to ensure that the controls are displayed in the user's preferred visual style.
If your application contains custom or owner-drawn controls, you need to use the visual styles API to retrieve information about the currently active visual style, and to draw the controls in that style.
For Windows versions prior to Windows 8, applications typically need to provide two separate code paths for drawing custom and owner-drawn controls. One code path draws the controls when a theme that uses visual styles is active, and another code path draws the controls when the Windows Classic theme or a high contrast theme is active. In Windows 8, however, visual styles are always on, so separate theming code paths are not needed. Applications that are manifested for Windows 8 get high contrast theming "for free.
