Hmm, that is puzzling. Obviously I'm wrong about the default, but we've
deployed 300+ of our apps on both XP Home and XP Pro Apps and they all switch accordingly. I'll look around some more and see if I can find anything...sorry about the bum tip, I just took it for granted that all XP systems/SPs etc would have the same behavior. I'll get back shortly if I can find anything.

Thanks for the tip, that makes sense. We always use System, so when our
stuff showed up in XP format by default on the XP boxes, I just assumed (incorrectly) that it was the default behavior.

If you set the FlatStyle property of the button to System, you still get standard, flat buttons unless you make a call to Application.EnableVisualStyles() in the application. Just tried it here.

Nope... you still need to make a call to Application.EnableVisualStyles() in the application. I just tried it here. Just changing the button's FlatStyle property did not do the trick.
is it possible to make vb.net apps have xp style buttons in xp?
Stephen
the buttons on mine are not xp style by default, neither are the frames -

Oddly, they will not be by default.
What you need to do is change the buttons 'flatstyle' property to be system, not standard as they probably are Then the buttons will be XP style then. If you using VS 2003, then search on XP Theme the help section filtered to 'visual basic' and you will see the doco on how do do other controls as well.

Instead, create a manifest to reference comctl32.dll version 6. Just create a text file with the following contents: ----- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="CompanyName.ProductName.YourApplication" type="win32" /> <description>Your application description here.</description> <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" /> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> </assembly> ----- Call that file 'myapp.exe.manifest' (replace myapp.exe with the name of your application's executable) and put it in the same directory as the executable. -- Unforgiven "Most people make generalisations" Freek de Jonge

Instead, create a manifest to reference comctl32.dll Thanks for the post. Just for the record, what kind of issues have you found when using Application.EnableVisualStyles?

I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003. I do not know if this is specific to v1.1 of the Framework or not, though. Sounds like it may be.
hmm, i have no function Application.EnableVisualStyles() ? is this framework
1.1? i have it installed, but my vs came with 1.0 - do i need to update visual studios to use it?
