Coding for the Vista GUI
-
My apologies if this has been covered earlier or elsewhere - I did look but couldn't find anything. I'm coding an app in C# using VS 2005 and I'm looking to make the interface as Vista-like as possible. Clearly, things like the control boxes on forms will be handled by the the OS - but what about buttons and the green-glow progress bar (to name a few)? Are there libs I can download from MS to build into my app to get these "Vista effects"? Is there something simple that I'm overlooking? Any help is much appreciated. Kind regards, John.

Glowing buttons are progress bar are also handled by the OS. If your controls use XP style on XP, they should also look fine on Vista.

Daniel, Thanks for your reply. Additionally I've found some great resources in the Windows Vista and .NET 3.0 SDK. These can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/downloads/default.aspx Cheers, John.
