You shouldn't be getting the XP theme in your application forms on Vista. By
default, the form will be automatically rendered using Windows Aero. Are
you compiling using Visual Studio 2005? Also, is Vista set to run Aero or
the Windows Classic theme.

yes, i am using VS 2005 with Visual Styles enabled, and Aero interface is on,
yet its still XP style. Like for the treeview, it still has the plus/minus
not the vista form. is there any way to change it?

Sounds like an installation problem. I would reinstall VS2005 with
the latest service packs.

I have seen this sentence more, be aware that just relying on Google is
creating a high security risc. There can be created code that opens your
computer as well as there can be normal mall functioning code.
I only use Google in this case to search in the Microsoft Newsgroups
information, for dotNet I know that it mostly well filtered by all kind of
regulars including MVP's.

I would swear that when I developed in A97, I could change the back
colour of a form.
However, in Windows XP, on both A97 and A2003, there no longer is a
property showing in the format tab for form properties for a back colour.
I think the themed control idea is pretty good in that a developer can
really go out on a limb if s/he chooses all kinds of fancy background
colours for his/her app since colours selection is a very subjective...

I've been to the MS website but can't find a resolution to either of
the following. When using themed controls, command buttons have a one
pixel light colored dot just outside each corner. It is most noticable
if the form has a dark colored background. Has anyone else noticed
this?
The other problem which I've seen mentioned on this group before is the
fact that triple state check boxes don't show the Null state when

It seems that the only way to make themed AND classic Windows GUIs look okay
with tab controls and subforms, due to the color issue, is to place a one
page-no button tab control on each subform that will be displayed as part of
a main form's tab control, completely covering the subform's detail, and
then pasting all the controls onto it. However, this is major cosmetic
surgery.

I decided to use a tab control for my latest project. On Windows XP, the
tab control itself is themed (tabs are themed), but the tab pages and
any controls I put on them are not themed (except for textboxes).
Done a bit of googling on this subject and I found a lot of people with
the same problem, but no real solution.
Has anyone come up with a good way to get controls to appear themed on a
tab page?

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but it gets around one of the
more annoying limitations of using themed controls. Normally when
using themed controls a triple state check box looks the same in the
unchecked and null states - very annoying and not all that useful.
Today I found by accident that if the border style of the checkbox is
set to anything other than "solid", the check box takes on the
appearance of a non-themed...

A2003. I rather like the appearance I get with windows themed controls
turned on, but I'm running into an odd problem with tab controls.
When I set the back style to transparent, it really isn't transparent.
I'm finding instead of one text box or a button that I'd like to have on
the form "shining through" and displaying with all pages, it's as if the
tab control keeps the odd colour background it generates.

This is probably trivial, but annoying just the same. Has anyone
noticed in Access 2003 when using themed controls that the mouseover
color fringing does not seem to work properly on command buttons that
have an image displayed instead of text? Or is this just happening on
my machine?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
