Morning guys...

Quick question I really require an answer to...

I have a collection of Windows Forms that I want to display using XP Style...I have included the manifest file for this to occur...

However, the build these forms are being loaded is set to 'windows classic'.

My question is this, is there anyway I can get my vb.net forms to use XP Style but still retain Windows Classic look and feel for the OS?


Any help much appreciated

Have you experimented with

Application.EnableVisualStyles()

?

Hi Dragonwell...

I have looked at this briefly - I understood this could not be used if I had the OS set to "classic" - is this not the case?


Thanks
