I am trying to make a tutorial program have the look of Windows XP. I found 
this link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/userex/cookbook.asp

it describes using manifests and linking to ComCtl32.lib, using manifests, 
and doing other things.
I have tried to get it working but can't.  Everything I try takes a 
previously working program and turns its client area blank.  How do you use 
manifests in dev-cpp? What is the "Support Window XP Themes" check box 
supposed to do? For me this check box turns a previously working 
foosyerdoos.com tutorial program to blank.

any help would be appreciated.
