BCM_SETSHIELD does not work

Question

I am using MFC with VS2005 and I want to add the shield icon to a button. I created a control member variable for the button and in InitDialog I have

// BCM_SETSHIELD
this->m_ctrlStartact.SendMessage(0x1600+0x000C, 0, TRUE);
this->m_ctrlStartact.SetButtonStyle(BS_FLAT);

However, the shield does not appear. According to the Manifest, I have the correct version of the commctrl:

    <assemblyIdentity 
        type="win32" 
        name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" 
        version="6.0.0.0" 
        processorArchitecture="X86" 
        publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" 
        language="*" 
    />

What can be the remaining problem?

Answer 1

SOLVED!!! For some reason I had the manifest file excluded from the build. Now it works :) :) – divB Jul 5 at 15:07
