I've made some useful changes to modplug (manifest embedded theming) ... i've created a svn patch... to who do I mail the patch?

What exactly do you mean by "manifest embedded theming"? OpenMPT has a manifest that allows custom XP (Vista?) themes.

Correct there's one in the resource file (also with ID 1 which is correct) but changes to VS2008+ this doesn't work anymore.
You'll specifically have to link this e.g. :

Code: [Select]


#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")

Your manifest in the resource will still be working on older compilers AND newer compilers and it supports different chipsets.

I'll post the code here, you'll have to paste it in stdafx.h

Code: [Select]


#if _MSC_VER >= 1500 //compiler VS2008 or higher?
	#if defined _M_IX86
	#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
	#elif defined _M_IA64
	#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='ia64' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
	#elif defined _M_X64
	#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='amd64' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
	#else
	#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
	#endif
#endif

Do you use mptrack_08.sln or mptrack.sln? The manifest works in VS2008 here.

My bad, sorry completely overlooked the '08 sln file. thx for pointing out though.. (could have saved me the time)

edit:
Did a complete checkout.. and tried the '08 sln file. and indeed common controls are activated.

Though maybe it's an interesting feature (example above) you don't have to fool around with manifests anymore in your resource scripts.
