Windows XP StyleHi,
I'm having some GUI troubles. When the application is run on a Windows XP environment my controls all look very nicely shaped. When the same application is run on Windows Server 2003 environment these controls don't look that nice anymore. It is probably because of the SupportThemes property of the control. But does anyone know a simple solution to set the GUI on each platform exectly as in the Windows XP environment? Thanx! Maurice Hi Maurice,
Are themes enabled in the Windows 2003 server?

Server 2003 by default and thus visual styles are not used to render the controls. > It is probably because of the SupportThemes property of the control. But No, only on systems with support Common Controls 6.0 or newer. Common > does anyone know a simple solution to set the GUI on each platform exectly > as in the Windows XP environment? Controls 6.0 is not redistributable. -- M S Herfried K. Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://classicvb.org/petition/>
