    As Nishant sayed you need a manifest. Description from MSDN here

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/xptheming.asp

    As he sayed it doen't matter from were resources are loaded it depends only on what process/module the control is created from and what comctl32 is bound to the process by manifest (or the missing of a manifest).

    It seems that it works nice.
    Thanks all for help.

    Your app needs a manifest file (either embedded or external). I doubt whether the fact that your resources are loaded from a DLL would affect anything here.

    I now about manifest. But the problem that I load my resources from a Dll. Any way I added the manifest to the Application rc file whether it is empty. It worked without problems until now.

    Thanks.
