What's New in Visual C++ 2008 This topic introduces the new features and changes found in this Visual Studio 2008 release. Visual C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Dialog boxes that are created in ATL, MFC, and Win32 applications now comply with the Windows Vista style guidelines. When you create a new project by using Visual Studio 2008, all dialog boxes that you insert into your application will comply with the Windows Vista style guideline. If you recompile a project that you created with an earlier version of Visual Studio, any existing dialog boxes will maintain the same look that they previously had. For more information about how to insert dialog boxes into your application, see Dialog Editor. The ATL Project wizard now has an option to register components for all users. Beginning with Visual Studio 2008, the COM components and type libraries that are created by the ATL Project wizard are registered in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER node of the registry unless you select Register component for all users. For more information, see Application Settings, ATL Project Wizard.
