Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70927
FileOpenDialog uses Win98 UI all the time
Last modified: 2007-02-02 09:31:19 UTC
Within Windows XP there exists a new UI design, the Common Controls from comctl32.dll are viewable in the new design if a special manifest file exists. This is only need for platform dependent code for Windows, like FileOpenDialog. This manifest file is also need by Vista, to show the new design. It could be possible that this manifest file create substantive side effects to other code, so please hold this back in mind. The manifest file will be attached.

Place the soffice.bin.manifest file in the program folder near by soffice.bin.
Change status to 'Started'.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Must not deliver into the bin directory, which will destroy the .net port of OOo.
In desktop already exists a soffice.exe.manifest file. You can use an equivalent process for the new soffice.bin.manifest file. You can deliver it into solver/bin but don't copy it into desktop/wntmsci10[.pro]/bin . The linker of VS .Net 2005 (wntmsci11) automatically generates manifest files there. Oliver
We need a soffice.bin.manifest, not the soffice.exe.manifest here. Or we get only the old Win98 controls.
