Visual Styles possible in vb?

Hello, recently I was looking through the system properties and came accross
system.visualst yles namespace. This appears to contain all of the visual
style elements in xp and I was wondering if it is possible to change these,
either using the way I found or another. When I tried to change one of the
elements, I got an error saying that it was read-only. Any help or info
would be appreciated, thanks

No, you cannot change the visual styles. The system's visual styles are
used.

I'd like to purchase Visual C# .Net for learning purposes only since it's a lot cheaper than Visual Studio (note that I'm a very experienced C++ developer). Can someone simply clarify the basic differences. Ok, Visual Studio has C++, VB and J++ thrown in plus some extra bells and whistles (I already have some minimal experience) but are both IDE's essentially the same (including the same IDE support for creating forms, ADO.NET DataSets,...

Hi, I'm develing a COM add-in for Microsoft Word XP that displays a form. I'd like to have the form display using the Windows XP theme. However, neither using a manifest nor calling Application.EnableVisualStyles does the trick. (EnableVisualStyles works but massive instability, probably because the system is trying to theme the Word application itself.) I'm now trying to selectively enable the themes for just my form, or just...

I want to use visual styles in my app, but it is causing a problem with a DLL I use. Is there a way to disable visual styles for that DLL? I do not have access to the code for the DLL. The DLL's developer is aware of the problem but will not have a fix ready in time for me.

On my old workstation (development workstation) if I set Application/Enable XP visual styles - I was able to get/see the visual styles - like button borders highlighting when you run the mouse over them. But on my new workstation (development workstation) I can't get the visual styles to work. Matter of fact, the button controls appear raised (like in old VB6). I downloaded/Installed a bunch of updates for VS2005 after I got the new...
