I really wanted to make programs with the Windows interface, I hardly found Visual Basic and what was my disappointment when I found out that there were buttons (and another interface) some 2d-shnye (like Chemax) and under Windows 98, NT, and other decrepit systems. And this is not what I want! Tell me, in what language (in what environment) do applications with an interface of Windows XP, Vista, 7, and other modern, in which the interface depends on the theme and the button. In short, such as Kaspersky Norton Win Doctor, etc. and where to get textbooks and how to do it better? Please, in more detail.

    Just write in modern environments and everything will be a bunch. For me, in general, the discovery of what you say, because Visual components are just shells for standard screw elements. And, therefore, the operating system version should look like. - gecube

Is it probably VB6? I remember there was such a thing.

  1. Next to the EXE file, put the ИМЯEXE.manifest about as follows:

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity name="CiaoSoftware.Ciao.Shell.Contacts" 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>

  2. IMPORTANT. All ocx-controls (and dll)? which are used to create an interface (when adding any lists that appear, a treeview) must be at least version 6.0. Explanation: such an EXPERT cannot be built on an OS below XP.

Or a more advanced option is to install Visual Studio 2003 and higher. There it is enabled by the option in the form settings and one command of the global Application object.

  • Thanks atoms I have not found anywhere about it - Rules
  • You can also add that a separate manifest file is optional, you can attach it as a resource to an exe / dll file in the section Manifest - diversenok
