How to enable the modern look of the toolbar for Win32 Application?

Question

Recently, I began to learn programming based on the Win32 API. When I add a toolbar control (from comctl32.lib ) to my simple application, I find it looks flat, while the menu bar has more 3D view and Windows 7 convenience (white glow at the top and vertical gray gradient at the top down). The difference makes it look wired.

However, I believe that many other applications have a consistent appearance for both the menu bar and toolbar. For instance. Notepad ++ and Notepad 2 .

Notepad ++. ToolBar.cpp , . , .

InitCommonControlsEx ToolBar.

// in WinMain
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX icce;
icce.dwSize = sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);
icce.dwICC = ICC_BAR_CLASSES | ICC_COOL_CLASSES | ICC_USEREX_CLASSES;
InitCommonControlsEx(&icce);

// called in WM_CREATE handler, hwnd is the handle of the main window
VOID BuildToolBar(HWND hwnd)
{
    HWND hTool;
    TBBUTTON tbb[3];
    TBADDBITMAP tbab;

    hTool = CreateWindowEx(0, TOOLBARCLASSNAME, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | TBSTYLE_TOOLTIPS |TBSTYLE_FLAT | CCS_TOP | BTNS_AUTOSIZE, 0, 0, 0, 0, hwnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_TOOL, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
    SendMessage(hTool, TB_BUTTONSTRUCTSIZE, (WPARAM)sizeof(TBBUTTON), 0);
    SendMessage(hTool, TB_SETEXTENDEDSTYLE, 0, (LPARAM)TBSTYLE_EX_HIDECLIPPEDBUTTONS);

    tbab.hInst = HINST_COMMCTRL;
    tbab.nID = IDB_STD_SMALL_COLOR;
    SendMessage(hTool, TB_ADDBITMAP, 0, (LPARAM)&tbab);

    ZeroMemory(tbb, sizeof(tbb));
    tbb[0].iBitmap = STD_FILENEW;
    tbb[0].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
    tbb[0].fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;

    tbb[1].idCommand = ID_FILE_OPEN;

    tbb[2].iBitmap = STD_FILESAVE;
    tbb[2].fsState = TBSTATE_ENABLED;
    tbb[2].fsStyle = TBSTYLE_BUTTON;
    tbb[2].idCommand = ID_FILE_SAVEAS;

    SendMessage(hTool, TB_SETBUTTONSIZE, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)MAKELONG(16, 16));
    SendMessage(hTool, TB_ADDBUTTONS, sizeof(tbb) / sizeof(TBBUTTON), (LPARAM)&tbb);
