开启程序的Visual Styles

首先看看MS对Visual Styles的解释：

Windows XP and later operating systems support a feature called visual styles that enables the appearance of common controls to change based on the theme chosen by the user. Prior to Windows 8, you must specifically configure your application to use visual styles; otherwise, the application's common controls are always rendered in the style associated with the Windows Classic theme, regardless of the currently selected theme. In Windows 8, visual styles can't be turned off, Windows Classic mode no longer exists, and high contrast mode has been modified to work with visual styles.

XP以后的系统支持一种叫做可视化风格的界面，界面可以随着系统的主题改变而变化。程序必须明确的去启用这种风格，否则程序就是经典风格界面 ，程序界面不随系统主题而改变。win8还新增了一种高对比度模式的界面，暂不讨论。

可以明显感觉visual styles要圆润漂亮了很多

开启 Visual Styles的方法

要使用 Visual Styles，需要第六版或更新的的ComCtl32.dll， ComCtl32.dll不重发行，只是预置在系统当中。xp以后的系列都同时有第五版和第六版的

ComCtl32.dll，第六版的ComCtl32.dll包含user controls and the common controls。默认情况下程序使用定义在User32.dll中的user controls  和定义在第五版 ComCtl32.dll 中的 common controls

comCtl32.dll版本介绍

ComCtl32.dll

@：添加程序清单的方法1

在工程目录下新建一个文本xml格式的清单文件“程序名.exe.manifest”，然后添加到资源中，文件内容为

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    version="1.0.0.0"
    processorArchitecture="*"
    name="CompanyName.ProductName.YourApplication"
    type="win32"
/>
<description>Your application description here.</description>
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="*"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
            language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

mainfest详解：

 

description段 assemblyIdentity 元素的属性集

 

Attribute	Description
version	Version of the manifest. The version must be in the form major.minor.revision.build (that is, n.n.n.n, where n <=65535).
processorArchitecture	Processor for which your application is developed.
name	Includes company name, product name and application name.
type	Type of your application, such as Win32.

dependency段 assemblyIdentity 元素的属性集

Attribute	Description
type	Type of the dependency component, such as Win32.
name	Name of the component.
version	Version of the component.
processorArchitecture	Processor that the component is designed for.指定处理器。有效值为 msil、x86、IA64 和 amd64。
publicKeyToken	Key token used with this component.
language	Language of the component.

@：添加程序清单的方法2

在vs2005以后，设置visual styles可以不需要程序部署清单文件，而只是发送一个编译指令。在“stdafx.h”中添加一下几行就可以了

#pragma comment(linker,""/manifestdependency:type='win32'
name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0'
processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'"")

MSND上说还需

<span style="white-space:pre">  </span>// 如果一个运行在 Windows XP 上的应用程序清单指定要
    // 使用 ComCtl32.dll 版本 6 或更高版本来启用可视化方式，
    //则需要 InitCommonControlsEx()。否则，将无法创建窗口。
    INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX InitCtrls;
    InitCtrls.dwSize = sizeof(InitCtrls);
    // 将它设置为包括所有要在应用程序中使用的
    // 公共控件类。
    InitCtrls.dwICC = ICC_WIN95_CLASSES;
    InitCommonControlsEx(&InitCtrls);

但是发现不添加也没事，xp也可正常实现，懂得可以给说说

@：关闭Visual Styles

1：可以调用SetWindowTheme函数关闭一个或多个控件的visual styles

#include "Uxtheme.h"
#pragma comment(lib,"UxTheme.lib")

 

SetWindowTheme(hwnd, L" ", L" ");

 

2：也可以调用InitInstance之前调用void SetThemeAppProperties( DWORD dwFlags)，不设置 STAP_ALLOW_NONCLIENT 标志可关闭整个程序所有窗口的的Visual Styles

 

#include "Uxtheme.h"
#pragma comment(lib,"UxTheme.lib")

DWORD dwFlags = (STAP_ALLOW_CONTROLS | STAP_ALLOW_WEBCONTENT);
SetThemeAppProperties(dwFlags);
