Some .Net controls have a 3D borders, but if windows XP Display "Appearance"
setting is "Windows XP style", The 3D border changed to XP style. I also
noticed VB 6 3D borders do not change. Is there a way to make 3D border
display all the time no matter what windows settings you choose?

Thanks

Hello,

in .NET, you can force to use the old style by removing the
Application.EnableVisualStyles in the main method. But I wouldn't do that:
If I'm running an application in a themed environment (Windows Aero or XP
Luna), I expect the windows of that application to be themed as well.

Best regards,
Henning Krause
