C++ MANIFEST file for a COM Add-In with VS2005?

[Mark Beiley]

I haven't been able to figure out how to embed my manifest file into my COM
add-in. I'm trying to get my add-in to display the more modern looking
buttons, associated with the 6.0 common controls. I'm using VS2005 and
writing a C++ COM/ATL add-in. Has anyone been able to do this?

I've done this under VC++ 6.0, and it worked fine, but haven't been able to
get it working under VS2005...

Thanks,
Mark

Did you get this resolved ?

Hi Michael,

Yes, I got it working. The mistake I made was forgetting to define
ISOLATION_AWARE_ENABLED. Instructions for VC++ 6.0 are listed here:

In VS2005 you do pretty much the same, but instead of adding the manifest
file as a resource, just add it to your project.
