The code that draws a theme-aware button in Windows XP:
rtButton.top = 100;
rtButton.left = 10;
rtButton.bottom = 130;
rtButton.right = 200;
hTheme = OpenThemeData(hWnd, L"Button");
DrawThemeBackground(hTheme, hdc, BP_PUSHBUTTON,  PBS_NORMAL, &rtButton, NULL);
DrawThemeText(hTheme, hdc, BP_PUSHBUTTON, PBS_NORMAL, wzTMB, wcslen(wzTMB),
DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER | DT_WORD_ELLIPSIS | DT_SINGLELINE, 0, &rtButton);
