Add this code to a new code file:

\\\
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class Main
Public Shared Sub Main()
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.DoEvents()
Application.Run(New MainForm())
End Sub
End Class
///

Then set the project's startup object to 'Sub Main' in the project's
properties window.

Herfried, what is the purpose of Application.DoEvents() in your code chunk?
Is this something I should always be doing in sub main? Would it make any
difference if sub main is prescribed as STA or MTA?

It's a "bugfix". If you don't use it there will be problems with images
in TreeViews and ToolBars.

I think it must be run as STA.

Please note there are still bugs using this with Treeview. Viewing large
icons in the treeview fails if Application.EnableVisualStyles is used at
all...

ACK. There _are_ still problems with some controls.
