    Hi. Is it possible to have a MAC OS look in your WinForm controls?

      Why on earth would you want to do that? If your app is the only mac-a-like on a windows system, it is going to look pretty silly. You can do it, if you must, but I think you will have to draw all the controls yourself. And the menus. And the Form borders. And the scroll bars. And the system buttons. And the cursors. And the Message boxes. And the standard dialogs. It would be a lot quicker, and cheaper, to buy a mac instead.
