    button "faces" ?

    hey, i like the buttons that are in .NET better than the default win32 api buttons. so i was wondering if i could use those buttons "faces" in my win32 api apps.. as an example of what i mean, the buttons in these 2 pictures:

    The .NET buttons look like Win2000 and earlier, although it's on WinXP or later.

    You must add a XP manifest to your program. Your compiler probably has an option to do so. If not search msdn for "XP manifest" or "XP style".
