In the same directory as you have your executable (e.g. foo.exe) you put a file called foo.exe.manifest in which you have something like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly
   xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
   manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    processorArchitecture="x86"
    version="5.1.0.0"
    type="win32"
    name="foo.exe"/>
    <description>Foo program</description>
    <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity
         type="win32"
         name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
         version="6.0.0.0"
         publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
         language="*"
         processorArchitecture="x86"/>
    </dependentAssembly>
    </dependency>
</assembly>

If you want to add it to your application permanently, you can also include it in your .rc file using this line:

  1 24 "winxp.manifest"

In wxWidgets 2.5, this will be in the wx/msw/wx.rc and so will happen automatically so long as you include wx.rc in your own .rc file.
