XP themed controls, how to disable them for a library ?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi,

I have this MFC application that uses an old library containing some
controls (stingray objective grid)
The application is a non unicode application.
I recently tried to have windows xp themed controls by embedding a
manifest, I tried it normally as with the ISOLATION_AWARE_ENABLED flag
as described on MSDN.
All seems fine, except the controls from the stingray library which
contain controls derived from standard windows controls (CEdit, etc).
For instance clicking on a textbox like control cause japanese and
nonprintable charachters to appear in the textbox.
Rather than trying to fix this library, is there a way to force this
library to use the old controls (from user32.dll)
while have themed controls in the rest of my application ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards,

Michael Verschaeve
