Changing the style of CMFCMenuButton look like a regular button on my dialog

Question

I have a CMFCMenuButton control on my dialog:

    CONTROL         "Lookup",IDC_MFCMENUBUTTON_LOOKUP_PUBLISHER,
                    "MfcMenuButton",WS_TABSTOP,106,254,45,14

I initialize it like this:

m_menuLookupPublisher.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU_LOOKUP_PUBLISHER);
m_btnLookupPublisher.m_hMenu = m_menuLookupPublisher.GetSubMenu(0)->GetSafeHmenu();

It works fine:

Update

I have added some extra code (based on answer provided to me):

m_menuLookupPublisher.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU_LOOKUP_PUBLISHER);
m_btnLookupPublisher.m_hMenu = m_menuLookupPublisher.GetSubMenu(0)->GetSafeHmenu();
m_btnLookupPublisher.m_nFlatStyle = CMFCButton::BUTTONSTYLE_SEMIFLAT;
m_btnLookupPublisher.m_bDrawFocus = FALSE;

This improves the look and feel of the button now, but it is still not 100% the same. Here is what it looks like now when it does not have focus:

It is just the way the border is displayed that is not correct. EnableWindowsThemeing is TRUE by default so I am not sure what else I need to do here.

What's annoying is that in the VS IDE it looks fine:

My question concerns the visual display of the menu button. The border looks different that the other buttons. Can it be made to look the same without too much work?

Update

I stumbled on this question which is now pointing me in the right direction. If I add this code:

m_btnLookupPublisher.ModifyStyle(BS_OWNERDRAW, 0, 0);

Then is draws the border correctly etc. but renders other aspects of the button useless so it is not a viable solution. But the remainder of the answer is what I needed:

CMFCVisualManager::SetDefaultManager(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMFCVisualManagerWindows));

Are you talking about 3D look? Then you need to specify "flat" style BUTTONSTYLE_FLAT:
