Vista GUI in Visual C# Express?

[Zack Whittaker \(R2 Mentor\)]

Hey,

In Visual C# 2005 Express, can you make your application look like a Vista application
with the black bars and the transparancy? If so, where would I download the tool from?

Thanks :o)

Zack,

No, you can not. The only way you could do this is if you handled the
painting the window yourself. The appearance of applications in vista is a
result of the default rendering of your app on Vista. In other words, you
would have you run your app on Vista to get render the window in that
manner, or draw the frame custom yourself.

Hope this helps.

Get the VS 2005 beta 2 and install the WinFX SDK.
