I guess i understood your requirement. ;) It is good to emphasize the UI, look & feel as well as functionality. But sadly you need to take help from third party custom controls(unless you build your own; i wont suggest !!) I suggest you to use 'DevComponents'http://www.devcomponents.com/[^] for your app. The reason is : 1.You can have custom menus,forms,panels and many other controls. 2. It provides look, style, and a archieve of controls that follows Office2007 UI guideline(This is microsoft's recommended standard for UI for desktop apps). 3. I have used it for some of my app and got valuable comments. Although 2 years back. Hope this helps.
