File Information
Description

Add the .manifest file to the <Matlab>\bin\win32 directory where <matlab> is your install directory.

Code is based on example on Microsoft Website. No additional Calls are required just dump it in the directory.

This appears to work for:

buttons
list boxes
drop-down menu boxes
radio buttons
check boxes
scrollbars
Edit Boxes

It does not have any effect on the following:

Text Boxes
Frames
Axes
Toggle Buttons

Note that this does not skin Matlab Itself.

It works on Windows XP with Matlab 6.5

Great!

Simple and very nice, except for the fact that it makes your slide bar go right when you press the arrow to the left (value property changes properly, i.e. going down).

Yes - this is a problem that really irritates me as well.

I can't figure out why this is at the moment, but if I do I'll post an update.

It doesn't seem to affect other programs e.g. VB.
