I have a VB6 application that runs fine on any WinNT
platform. When we try to run the application on an XP
platform the background colour on some of the control
changes.

One of background color we use is "Active Title Bar Text"
&H80000009&, this color is white on windows NT box but
appears as black on XP box which means we can't read the
text on this control.

Does anyone know why and how to fix this problem? I would
rather not re-compile the application with a differenct
backgroud color as this would be very time consuming.

Many Thanks
 
Have you tried the Windows XP Compatibility wizard? Disable effects and
perhaps even drop to 256 colours
