VB NET Visual Styles
-
We have migrated several apps, originally developed in VB.NET 2003, to VB 2005. The problem is that, while these apps display the VB 2005 visual style in the IDE, when run display the VB.NET 2003 visual style. I am assuming there is a setting somewhere, but I can't find it. Is there a way for these migrated VB.NET 2003 apps to use the VB 2005 visual style at run time? Thank you, Brian

That post is somewhat confusing. I take it you programmed a application using VS2003, and enabled XPStyles by using Application.EnableVisualStyles. In VS2005, all you do is check a box in the Project Properties. With regards to styles, VS2003 and VS2005 do not actually provide a theme or style to the OS, it is the Windows Common Controls in Windows. If you are running the application under Win9x/ME these will not be display as ComCtrl v6 is not in those versions and is not portable.
