I was wondering if there is such a thing as a Vista Manifest that changes the button styles into the Vista Buttons. I've seen alot of forms do it but I don't know how to do it. Can somebody help me?

The only Vista exclusive manifest is a UAC manifest (has nothing to do with buttons)
Do you mean XP Manifest?

I already know how to use XPManifest for XP Button styles but how can I get the vista button styles.
I'll edit this post after I find and example.

There is no manifest for Vista button styles. They are simply a different type of button. The reason you need an XP manifest is because the controls are the same for Windows 9x, 2000, etc, and you needed some way to tell Windows that you designed your program with the XP styles in mind. This is not a problem in Vista, as the controls did not exist before Vista. You just pass a different value through dwStyle of CreateWindowEx.

edit: that's not a Vista style button, he's on Windows XP. It's not glass if that's what you're thinking, he just colored it grey. See how many misunderstandings happen when you assume you ask your doctor for a specific subscription when you don't know what ailment you have?

Actually when you hover over the button with your mouse the button turns a Light blue.

the manifest is code thats hold information about the program.
In this case its tell the explorer to apply the style of windows(xp,98,vista...)-see picture.
on the program. if you want to apply vista style on your application you need to use vista style ( http://www.mediafire.com/?59hsx1fogwm ).

Yeah, but you can only see it with your computer and if you send it to other people they will either see the old style or the XP style.

You can apply theme on your control in this way:

It depends. If you send it to a person with Windows 3.x, they'll see it as the old way regardless of wether or not you put Vista manifest on there.
