How to enable visual styles without a manifest
问题 According to the docs: "If you want your application to use ComCtl32.dll version 6, you must add an application manifest or compiler directive to specify that version 6 should be used if it is available." Notice the logical OR above? So what is this mysterious compiler directive? I've got a native Win32 C++ application that is wholly contained in a single .cpp file. There are no resource files, manifest files, etc. I'd like to keep it that way, but I would also like to use visual styles. 回答1:
