Hi Charles,
it seems that until now I did not really understand the difference between classic and new styles which already can be seen with buttons. I also did not understand John's comments about XP themes. Yet I did not set much value on appearance.
As my slider project still does not work as I expect I looked for an example with XP manifest and I found one at Transmission Zero which I ported to OxygenBasic. The project will only work as an executable. There are two batch files, one creates an exe without manifest, the second will create an exe with manifest. I attached the project as a zip file.
I think this project is important as I was not sure if something is missing with my system. It also demonstrates that LinkRes2exe works very well together with Oxygenbasic.
The project also demonstrates that even small changes in the resources influence the behaviour of AV scanners. Checking with Virustotal I started with 12/55. Removing some Icons from the Icon group and modifiying some properties of the Win32App.rc file with ResEd I ended:
Win32App.exe without manifest: 3/55 (Invincea, Qihoo-360, Rising)
Win32App.exe with manifest: 2/55 (Qihoo-360, Rising)
It would be really funny if it would not be so funny.
