Hi,
For some reason my App has stopped displaying buttons and other such
controls with the XP style.
They have all reverted back to the standard style button.
I have the buttons.flatsty le set to = system, but they are the same as
standard.
I have the Windows XP Style set in my display properties (properties of the
desktop), and the color scheme set to silver, and all the buttons in other
applications look as they should.
How do I get my buttons back to the XP style.
Thanks 10 1177

Hi,
Thanks for this.
I have created a manifest file as described. I hope i did this correct as
all i did was add a text file, rename it to the projectname.man ifest, and
changed the details within the xml I pasted from the site into the manifest
file
The bit that is confusing is that last bit that makes reference to adding in
the details to the referneces:
"
1.. Add the manifest to your application's resource file as follows:
CREATEPROCESS_M ANIFEST_RESOURC E_ID RT_MANIFEST "YourApp.exe.ma nifest"
"
I have no idea what this means or how to do it. I tried to add a reference
to my project to the manifest file, but it didn't like that very much.
Thanks

Am I right that you are using .NET 1.0?

Then you don't need the manifest stuff. Instead, add the following code to
a code file:
\\\
Public Module Program
Public Sub Main()
Application.Ena bleVisualStyles ()
Application.DoE vents()
Application.Run (New MainForm())
End Sub
End Module
///
In the project properties, select 'Sub Main' as startup object.

Create a Windows Forms project from scratch, add the code I posted, add a
button to the form and set its 'FlatStyle' to 'System'. Then run the
application. Is it shown with Visual Styles applied?

and all the button .style is set to system, so it should pick up the style
do i have to do something within each form in my project ?

Yes that works fine.
So I have gone back to my project and rechecked everything, and it seems
fine.
I have added a empty form to the proper project, and tested it. It works
fine, as long as none of my other code is with the code you posted.
It doesn't seem to make sense.
My propery project has a global.vb file, and the project startup property is
set to that(sub main).
I have attached the sub main below, where you can i see how i have put the
code in.
Something here is stopping it from working, but i can not see what it could
be.
Thanks

Windows buttons that are rectangular with rounded edges and have a
blueish border around the active button, but instead are just square
buttons. Is this normal...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
