VB2005 textbox - how to get 3D look like VB2003?

[Guest]

Hello,

I selected BorderStyle = Fixed3D for a textbox on a form in VB2005, but the
textbox looks flat. In VB2003 the textbox has the same borderStyle =
Fixed3D and has a 3D appearance. Is it possible to get the same 3D
appearance for a textbox in VB2005? How to do this? All of my textboxes are
flat looking.

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,

Try disabling XP Visual Styles in the project's properties.

Turn off Visual Styles in the application framework settings ("My
Project" -> ...). However, note that a themed application integrates better
with other applications visually if visual styles are enabled for the
system.
