windows Theme

Hi,

I develop my own control, however i would like to keep them in phase
with Windows Theme.

for example, if i have a custom button, i would like also to offer to
user the possibility to select the renderer (XP theme, flat, gradient,
and so on...)

how can i get data/info regarding XP theme for example ?
and how can i apply it to my custom control ?

thx.

How do I get the new XP "look and feel" theme for my buttons and tab panes and other controls? You know, the one where if you hover the mouse over button, a thin yellow line at the base appears.

I have an MFC application that uses FlashWindowEx to notify the user of an event by minimizing a window on the taskbar and calling FlashWindowEx. This works fine except if you are using the Windows Classic theme on Windows XP. If you switch back to one of the built-in XP themes, it works fine. When using the classic theme, the taskbar button flashes one time, and then appears 'pushed', like it is the active window even though it is not. ...

The menu drop down icons (only the gray inactive icons) look horrible in Windows Classic Theme. Once they are active and have color, they look fine. If we switch to XP theme, they look just fine. Anyone else run into this problem with python rewriting "shotty" inactive icons in the Windows Classic Theme? ANY help appreciated. Best,

Hi All I am just getting to grips with Access 2007 and one of the quirks I have found is that when I design using Windows in XP Windows-Classic colors and set the text boxes on forms' special effect property to "sunken" They appear as sunken in the correct manner. However, when I change to the Windows XP color scheme the forms text boxes appear flat even though the special effect property has not changed.
