wxGauge control changing after py2exe packaging

Hi everyone,

I have an odd little problem - I have a wxGauge in my app set to pulse mode which pulses while a file is downloading. That's all fine but when I package the app up with py2exe the interface seems to change down to an old Windows 2000 type "flat" interface (I'm on WinXP) and the gauge no longer pulses, it just fills up all the way to 100% and then down to 0 again until the background process is finished, which looks quite odd. What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Wayne

Hello,

You need to add a manifest file to the exe to get the XP style ui:

see: DistributingYourApplication - wxPyWiki

or

The samples that come with py2exe
