How to create a manifest file with code

In this article I do not discuss again what is manifest file functions because of my previous article already exists precisely here, so now the discussion is how to incorporate into a Visual Basic project, so the Manifest file is created automatically if removed.
for those of you who are interested in this tip, please follow the way of making the code below

Step 1

• create a new standard exe project

• add module

Step 2
Place the following code in the module project

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function InitCommonControls Lib "Comctl32.dll" () As Long

Sub InitialiseXPControls()
Dim intFreeFile As Integer
Dim lngReturn As Long
Dim strEXEFile As String
Dim strManifestFile As String

strEXEFile = App.Path & "\" & App.EXEName & ".exe"
strManifestFile = strEXEFile & ".manifest"

If Dir(strEXEFile) <> "" And Dir(strManifestFile) = "" Then
intFreeFile = FreeFile()

Open strManifestFile For Output As #intFreeFile
Print #intFreeFile, "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes""?>"
Print #intFreeFile, "<assembly xmlns=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"" manifestVersion=""1.0"">"
Print #intFreeFile, "<assemblyIdentity"
Print #intFreeFile, " version = ""1.0.0.0"""
Print #intFreeFile, " processorArchitecture = ""X86"""
Print #intFreeFile, " name = ""Microsoft.Winweb.VB_Application"""
Print #intFreeFile, " type=""win32"""
Print #intFreeFile, "/>"
Print #intFreeFile, "<description>GSoftware</description>"
Print #intFreeFile, "<dependency>"
Print #intFreeFile, " <dependentAssembly>"
Print #intFreeFile, " <assemblyIdentity"
Print #intFreeFile, " type=""win32"""
Print #intFreeFile, " name = ""Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"""
Print #intFreeFile, " version = ""6.0.0.0"""
Print #intFreeFile, " processorArchitecture = ""X86"""
Print #intFreeFile, " publicKeyToken = ""6595b64144ccf1df"""
Print #intFreeFile, " language = ""*"""
Print #intFreeFile, " />"
Print #intFreeFile, " </dependentAssembly>"
Print #intFreeFile, "</dependency>"
Print #intFreeFile, "</assembly>"
Close #intFreeFile

Shell strEXEFile, vbNormalFocus
End
End If

lngReturn = InitCommonControls()
End Sub

Step 3
Please call InitialiseXPControls in sub main or startup form your project

Now your application will follow the theme of your windows that apply, good luck. If you have any problems please contact me or can you confirm by email, may be useful for you.
