| | XPStyle Add-In from Franz Josef Wechselberger |
| Because XP-Styles for VB6 is often discussed F. J. Wechselberger wrote an Add-In with this functionality for VB6 IDE. This Add-In creates a .manifest file, add it to your project as resource and writes the neccessary code for XP-Style initialisation. So we don't need an external manifest file any more! Unzip this file to folder: '\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\IDE\IDE98' und register it with regsvr32.exe. After that you've the entry 'XP-Style' in yor Add-Ins menu of the IDE.

| OCX and DLL (de)register (not for Vista or Windows 7 with activated UAC): | |
| This little tool will create 2 menu entries in the Explorers context menu. If you've selected a dll or an ocx file it will allow you to register / unregister the selected file. It is more convenient than to open the DOS shell and type in the regsvr32 command. So download the file, unzip and double click it. This will import the settings to your registry to get the new context items...
