According to the MSDN article, visual styles are supposed to be applied to Win32 applications by default. However, the UI elements all appeared as Windows Classic until I inserted this into my header:
#pragma comment(linker,"\"/manifestdependency:type='win32' \
name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' \
processorArchitecture='*' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")

Now, when I try to add a button using this call:
CreateWindow(L"button", L"Quit",
WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD,
120, 50, 80, 25,
hWnd, NULL, hInst, NULL);

The result looks like this:

That looks like a Windows 8 button with Windows Classic font. Am I missing something to apply the full Windows 8 visual style?
