I went the easy way: I extracted the manifest from wxlua and added it to lua.exe: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\mt.exe" -inputresource:wxlua.exe -out:extracted.manifest "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\mt.exe" -manifest extracted.manifest -outputresource:lua.exe After that wxlua and lua produce the same (calendar) results. You can also tweak the manifest before embedding it to see the effect. > I don't know what you mean. What DLL is included with Windows that you ship? Not sure; when I tried the same manifest with my wx.dll compiled with mingw, I get side-by-side error: Activation context generation failed for "...zbstudio.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls,publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df",type="win32",version="6.0.0.0" could not be found. When I copy all the dlls from 2.8.12 and run with the same executable, everything is fine. I'm not sure what dll I'm missing, but I thought it was one of wxmsw28_*vc_custom.dll. Paul.
