I'm very interested in what manifest needs to be used as well. My executable *does* include a manifest, but it doesn't statically compile wx.dll and loads it at run-time. My calendar looks like a generic one (the one that Milind has on the left side), so I either need to have a different content in the manifest or needs to include in the DLL file itself.
It seems like the required addition to the manifest is quite simple (as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773175(v=vs.85).aspx): <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" /> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> I added it to my executable, but the controls are still shown as "generic" ones. I also removed this part of the manifest from wxlua and it indeed turned the "native" controls into "generic" ones. It seems like this is what is missing from the lua.exe file, but I'm not sure (yet) why it's not working in my case... Paul.
