CMFCColorButton will be displayed without style/theme when used in dialog based application by Bordon

Hello,

Thanks for the report and the additional information. This issue has been fixed in the MFC application wizard for the next major release of Visual Studio.

To fix this issue in an existing dialog-based application, you just need to add the following line of code to your application InitInstance method (before the dialog is invoked):

CMFCVisualManager::SetDefaultManager(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMFCVisualManagerWindows));

Thanks for your update. We are rerouting this issue to the appropriate group within the Visual Studio Product Team for triage and resolution. These specialized experts will follow-up with your issue.

Hint: I made this screenshots at a XP test machine since the problem is in XP, Vista and 7 with active styles.

Description of Picture "ColorBtnSDIDocview.PNG":
I created an SDI Doc View project in VS2010 with a CFormview derived view. I did not added any code in the project. I placed ony a CMFCColorButton on the formView resource and also on the about dialog resource. You see the CMFCColorButton control will be displayed with styles as expected.

Description of Picture "ColorBtnDlg.PNG":
I created a dialog based application. I did not added any code to the project. I placed only a CMFCColorButton control on the dialog resource and also a CCombobox control, to show the difference. I'd also expect the CMFCColorButton control on a dialog based application is displayed with styles, but is it displayed "classic".

I explained the important stuff on the pictures I hope, and you understand my issue now?

Thanks for your feedback. Could you please provide some screenshots to help us better understand this scenario?
