Disabling Vista-Style controls in Application

Question

So I'm trying to recompile an application to add some minor features. All is well, except for one thing.

The old version has all the windows-vista-style dialog buttons. The corners are rounded, the radio buttons look different, etc.

Example

How do I turn those things on? I want it to look/feel like the original.

EDIT: If anyone knows how to make that picture imbed inline, go for it... I couldn't get it.

It seems that your version has classic window style (not Vista). To use Vista style as in "THEIR VERSION" check that somewhere in headers there is the following code:

#ifdef _UNICODE
#if defined _M_IX86
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#elif defined _M_IA64
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='ia64' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#elif defined _M_X64
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='amd64' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#else
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
#endif
#endif

If that code is there(and I think it should be there) you should check that you have compiled UNICODE version( with _UNICODE defined).
