.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / June 2006VS.NET 2005 and XP Visual Styles
I've recently installed VS.NET 2005 (prof) and when I create a WinForm app and, say, add buttons to it, by default you get the old crappy standard buttons -- no the new XP Style buttons with rounded corners, etc. On another person's system the same software is installed and behaves correctly. Very odd. Have also done the manifest file thing -- nothing seems to work. Have set the FlatStyle to system, called Application.EnableVisualStyles(). Anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance roy This may sound the obvious question, but I like to start simple: Are you using the software on an OS that is a: compatible with visual styles (i.e. XP), and b: has visual styles enabled? Do other apps on that system appear in the XP style? If you take either the source or binary from your project and run it on the other computer, does it appear correctly there? Marc I think you are using the Windows Classical style. Right click you desktop -> properties -> Appearance tab - > Windows and buttons dropdown and choose windows xp style. Even when you are on design mode, you should get the rounded buttons if you have that value set to windows xp style > I've recently installed VS.NET 2005 (prof) and when I create a WinForm > app and, say, add buttons to it, by default you get the old crappy [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > roy Sorry. My fault. Ahmed was correct. Without knowing it, my theme was set to Windows Classic on this WinXP machine.. roy > I think you are using the Windows Classical style.
