Hi,

How do i enable XP Style controls in my VB .net application?

At the moment they look like standard old style buttons and scroll bars.

Rgds,

Ah; I found it

Application.EnableVisualStyles combined with setting FlatStyle properties to
system ( this was what i missed )

Thanks,
Dan

If you want to be really clever, use graphics to draw on the tool
remembering that it may well get repainted.

Dim g as graphics = somecontrol.creategraphics
g.drawrectangle(new pen(color.red),left,top,width,height)
g.dispose

or whatever
