Progress bar

[jaeger0]

I have just a styling question of my progress bar, embedded in a quickwin application
I'm programming on Vista, vith Intel compiler 10 using MSVS.
So in my Application is a Progress bar, which doe its work, but is displayed in this ugly blue bare, as
it was in older Windows systems. But I'd like to have this cool green displayed bar, typically for VISTA.
When I try the previewer in the resource Editor, it looks exaxtly the VISTA bar, but on running, I have this old blue bar.

How can I tell the system, that it should use the VISTA style

Send the progress-bar control a PBM_SETBARCOLOR message to set any color you want. Check MSDN for syntax details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760838(VS.85).aspx

you must be sure to use the latest version of ComCtl32 library, so you need some compiler directives. I dont know much about so better check visual styles in msdn library.
