how can i get push buttons to look nice?

how can i get a button to look nice, like a vista button for example

When i do this in WM_CREATE the button i get on the form looks like it's from windows 95..

Code:

---

    hwndButton = CreateWindow ( TEXT("button"),
                                  TEXT ("Pig"),
                                  WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON,
                                  1070,120,
                                  150, 30,
                                  hwnd,
                                  (HMENU) 1,  // id cast to a hmenu
                                  ((LPCREATESTRUCT) lParam)->hInstance,
                                            NULL) ;

---

It's not how you create it, it's how you link your application. You need a manifest. There should be plenty of examples on msdn about manifests.

ok, thanks, i will look manifests up
