XP Style Status Bar

[Skute]

Hi,

ive got a problem with a status bar in VB6. I have a manifest and ive used the resource linker to correctly display text boxes, command buttons etc with the XP style. However, the status bar which i put onto the form at design time refuses to adopt the style. It still looks like the old version. How do i make the status bar appear in the new XP style?

There are a couple of versions of xp status bar controls on

I think vbaccelerator may have one too, do a search on google for 'xp statusbar control' you should have some luck!

so you mean the actual standard one doesnt work? i *have* to go with a third party bar?
