Hi,
I want my ownerdrawn Controls, to look in the correct way.
But if call IsThemeActive() on XP I get always "TRUE", what do I wrong?
The standardcontrols look differen, wheter I have an .exe.manifest or not.
What have I to do, so that my ownerdrawn controls are drawn correctly?

See GetModuleFileName()[^]

Usage:

TCHAR szPath[_MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileName(NULL, szPath, _MAX_PATH);

/* Uncomment the following line if you do not want the path, but only the file name! */
//PathStripPath(szPath);

AfxMessageBox(szPath);

It's an API function and if your compiler says there's no such function, you're probably using a very old SDK.

You can either download the latest SDK, or use PathFindFileName()[^].

Note: You must link to shlwapi.lib and include shlwapi.h to use this function.

GetModuleFileName [^].

Then you've just to extract the filename from the full path.
