How do I activate the XP styles for my ActiveX controls in Visual Studio 2005

[Ruisinger]

I am using Visual Studio 2005, Measurement Studio 8.1 and WinXP.

Now, I add a CWNumeditControl to a dialog resource. It is displayed in the old W2k style (gray, black spin controls) . At the moment I show the dialog preview (Ctrl-T), it is displayed in the XP style ( blue spin controls, round corners). After compiling and linking, my programm shows all controls in xp style, but not the NI controls. The NI controls keep the old w2k style.

How can I enable that XP style display for NI controls?

Ooops, I lost my manifest when VC2005 crashed. I reintroduced it and now everything works fine as it should.

To make this thread useful, i put in a link which shows how to enable XP styles in a VC2005 project.
