                I have been wondering the same thing. I am using 2003 and use C++ and have given up on getting the new office 2003 look. I have a lot of respect for you. I thought I was a nerd, I started it all when I was 18. (I had a girlfried though so iwas not allowed to have "Fun." Cheers (From America)

                  It seems you have to use the .NET Windows forms. Although i was using Visual Studio 2005, i was writing pure win32 code (using the PSDK). All controls directly come from user32 then. .Net languages get their controls from Windows forms. (i'm saying that for any naive 15 yr old like myself when i wrote this thread.)
