1. RE: Manifest or Win32lib Problem?
Hello Derek,
It is actually groups that seem to conflict with winXP and Manifest. As
the radio buttons only become unreadable if they are in a group. Once I
move them to the window itself all is ok.
Regards
Tony

2. RE: Manifest or Win32lib Problem?
Hi Derek,
With windows XP if you create a manifest file as below and name it the
same as your program executable such as runme.exe you would create a
file runme.exe.manifest. This then changes the appearance of older
programs or programs just using plain buttons etc. to match the current
visual style or theme being used.
Hope that helps
Regards Tony Steward
