	1	Microsoft Windows XP Support from wxWidgets
	2	-------------------------------------------
	3
	4	Windows XP introduces the themes (called "visual styles" in the Microsoft
	5	documentation) in Windows world. As wxWidgets uses the standard Windows
	6	controls for most of its classes, it can take advantage of it without
	7	(almost) any effort from your part. The only thing you need to do if you
	8	want your program to honour the visual style setting of Windows XP is to
	9	add the manifest file to your program (this is not at all specific to
	10	wxWidgets programs but is required for all Windows applications).
	11
	12	wxWidgets now includes manifest resources in wx.rc, so it should be enough to
	13	include "wx/msw/wx.rc" in your application's resource file and you get
	14	XP look automatically. Notice that MSVC 2005 and later embed manifest in the
	15	executables it produces and wxWidgets doesn't use its own manifest when using
	16	this compiler. And if you don't want to use wxWidgets manifest with another
	17	compiler you may define wxUSE_NO_MANIFEST as 1 prior to including wx/msw/wx.rc.
	18
	19
	20	Finally, if all else fails you may always use a manifest manually. For this you
	21	need to create your own manifest file and put it in a file called
	22	"yourapp.exe.manifest" in the same directory where "yourapp.exe" resides.
	23	Alternatively, you can include the manifest in your applications resource
	24	section. Please see the MSDN documentation at
	25
	26	http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/xptheming.asp
	27
	28	for more details.

	30	Here is the example manifest which you can put into controls.exe.manifest
	31	file to test theme support using the controls sample:
