Now in .NET Framework version 1.1, you just need to call the static method <strong>Application.EnableVisualStyles</strong> just before calling the method Application.Run in your Main method:</spam> <br /></span> <br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">static void Main() <br />{ <br /> Application.EnableVisualStyles(); <br /> Application.Run(new frmMainForm()); <br />}</span></spam> </span></span> <br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">You also need to change the standard flat sytle of all the Button controls in your form to FlatSytle.System: <br /><em>btnSubmit.FlatStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.System;</em> <br /> <br />Of course, you need any Windows XP version or above.</spam></span></span> <br />Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17636031092965440114noreply@blogger.com
