XP Themes and GUI appearance

[CyberSlug]

See Attached screenshot... Why do the second and third buttons look the way they do?

; Using a recent November unstable version of AutoIt on XP Pro sp2
Global $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE = -3, $BS_ICON = 0x40
GuiCreate("Example", 300, 100)

GuiCtrlCreateButton("One", 10, 10, 50, 50)
GuiCtrlCreateButton("Two", 100, 10, 50, 50, $BS_ICON)
GuiCtrlCreateButton("Three", 180, 10, 50, 50, $BS_ICON)
   GuiCtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll")

GuiSetState()
While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

Simple (I think). The control is either owner drawn and isn't properly calling the theme API or a native Windows feature doesn't have automatic theme support when used this way. In either case, the answer is to have a look at the Visual Style related functions. They are declared in uxtheme.h (Platform SDK is required, I believe). In this situation, the correct functions must be called (Dynamically so as to be compatible with Pre-XP or whenver uxtheme.dll came about).

I get the same result under XP/SP2

I had a similar result using progress bars...In the default Windows XP theme, if you wanted the scrollbar to be smooth it would default to being a segmented one, but under Win2k and the classic theme, you'd get the smooth scrollbar..

Weird, but nonetheless acceptable I think!

This is diffence between classic xp and xp themed
