Maybe I'm just a nitpick but the acu controls seem to have an issue displaying the 3D border properly. Using 6.1.0 (I even tried it in 8.0 and still the same results).

The first picture is what the window looks like in acubench (it is correct). The second picture is when the program is running. Notice the difference in the border's from the Microsoft treeview to the acu controls? The third picture is using the XP manifest with same results...

Anyone know a way to get these controls to display the 3D border propelry at runtime? maybe this has been fixed in 8.1?

    Have you tried setting the WIN32_3D configuration variable to 1?
    That should make the runtime use the native Windows 3D effect.

    wow I had no idea that the WIN32_3D environment variable even existed! I would have thought that by default when developing using acubench (WIN32 GUI) that it would be on... I guess not. Thanks! :)

    hmm it doens't appear to work on all controls, the treeview looks correct, and Edit fields look fine, but List boxes still don't seem to have the windows 3D effect... :-(
