Hi,
I am using Visual studio 2005. I'm developing an application in c# for a PDA
running the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS. I want to apply Windows XP style to my
Windows form(on the PDA).
I tried this:

but I dont have the "Enable Visual Styles" check box in the Application pane
Please explain to me how it could be done.
Thank you very much

Hi gol,

The article is for full-versioned .NET 2.0 when app is running on Windows XP.
By default Windows Mobile 5.0 doesn't have these styles. You can custom drawing
controls or using something like this:
