[ozUkoG1T]

Hey,
I am working on a UAC program and the button look very bad and i want to make it look like a normal windows 7 buttons
BTW
I am using Windows 7 so how do it get it to look like that :
Code for the Button:

HWND_UAC_Alert = CreateWindow(_T("Button"),_T("Enter"),BS_PUSHBOX|WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_BORDER,0,20,50,20,hwnd,(HMENU)1001,NULL,NULL);

If you mean that your buttons look old fashion and square but you want the smootherand sexier looking buttons - this is called the 'XP look and fee' theme.

It involves something called a manifest -

Are you using MS Visual Studio??

UAC first makes a screenshot, then launches in a secure desktop. Are you want to replicate this behaviour programatically ?

If you want to just enable visual styles, read this:

If you're using visual studio, you can add this to the top of one of your CPP files:

#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' \
    name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' \
    processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' \
    language='*'\"")
