XP feel-like controls

alobiuc

Although I enabled XP visual styles in my app (Application.EnableVisualStyles()) there are still a few controls that don't look like they should (the radio buttons or the check boxes for example). Why's that?

I've got it! The FlatStyle property of the controls must be set to System, with or without Aplication.DoEvents() and it'll work (at least on my computer). Using a manifest gives me a headache.

Try using Application.DoEvents() immediately after Application.EnableVisualStyles. That usually fixes some problems. Otherwise, you should try using a manifest (though admittedly I haven't gotten that to work yet :()
