Creating a Manifest with version 9.1d?

[dayv2005]

I been working on a manifest in version 9.1d. But i'm having problems i think my attributes are wrong bc when i load it all my buttons on progress turn into black boxes.

here's what i have

one of the problems is with this line.
name="Progress" i didn't know what to put for version 9.1d.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    version="10.0.0.0"
    processorArchitecture="X86"
    name="Progress"
    type="win32"
/>
<description>Progress</description>
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="X86"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

1. You need to be on at least 9.1d07

2. Stick the manifest in your Progress Bin directory (I presume you are doing this).

3. Enter the following into your .ini file/registry startup section:

UseClipChildren=yes

so it looks like:

[Startup]
V6Display=no
UseClipChildren=yes
:

Then restart your Progress app, hopefully that should do it.

Yeah i did all this.

Version 9.1d08

i created the prowin32.exe.manifest added it in the bin folder.

and added that section to the progress.ini file.


Im getting all black buttons and the kb says thats from having a version earlier than 9.1D07. So i have no idea what is causing all this haha.

anyone have any ideas

I don't have V9 installed anymore so i can't test it but maybe one of these 3 lines will do the trick , i know i fixed the problem with the ini i got this from but i don't remember exactly wich line did it with UseClipChildren. I think it the careful-paint one but again not sure.


Careful-Paint=No

Keep3DFillInBorder=yes
Use-3D-Size=Yes

I'm not convinced the name makes all that difference. I use the default manifest generated by (eg.) XP style hacker and that works for me unless I change (eg.) the format of the version number.

One observation on that is that you have your version set to 10 - which may cause issues if you have OpenEdge stored on the same machine (I'm just guessing here).

So change the version number to (eg.) 1.0.0.0 and try again, then if that doesn't work get StyleHacker to have a go itself (but make sure you choose the prowin.exe in 9.1d/bin, not OpenEdge/bin.

Good luck.

I think i found out why this isnt working. I need to run this in my startup basekey "INI" -ini C:\Program Files\PROGRESS\bin\progress.ini

Man i don't know what's causing it now i made it run directly from the ini file. i know it's reading my ini file bc now my default colors are fixed haha. Oh well who knows. If anyone out there has a solution just let me know.

Thanks you guys for your help

here's an update on this problem.

Im still getting it but everything must be working right because the manifest is read in the ini file right because all other widgets have teh xp theme applied to it.

Buttons still display as black rects unless i apply no focus to them. They still show up as black rects in the edit screen but when i run it from app builder it changes to how it should look.
