Can anyone help me on this?

Hi all,

I'm developing an app in C# and i'm using the
Application.Ena bleVisualStyles function before I call the
Applicaton.Run( ...) function. The problem is that when I use a custom form
with ShowDialog to open in my app I get a
System.Runtime. InteropServices .SEHException.. . When I don't use
EnableVisualSty les in my app that exception doesn't occur.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Peter,

Are you calling ShowDialog inside of a message loop, or outside of the
message loop?

Can you show the code where ShowDialog is being called?

I too have experienced this error before. Since I couldn't resolve it, I
resorted to using the old manifest file.

Hi Peter,

Try setting

Application.DoE vents();

right after setting the visual style.

This is beginning to become a well-known problem with EnableVisualSty les.
The only solution seems to be to remove the EnableVisualSty les call and do
XP styles the 'old-fashioned way' with a manifest.

EnableVisualSty les has other problems as well. I hope that MS does some work
on that feature in a service pack or in the next release of the framework.
