The buttons will have the XP look and feel by default if run under XP, but

Hmm, that is puzzling. Obviously I'm wrong about the default, but we've
deployed 300+ of our apps on both XP Home and XP Pro Apps and they all
switch accordingly.
I'll look around some more and see if I can find anything...sorry about the
bum tip, I just took it for granted that all XP systems/SPs etc would have
the same behavior.
I'll get back shortly if I can find anything.
Cheers,

Oddly, they will not be by default.
What you need to do is change the buttons 'flatstyle' property to be system,
not standard as they probably are
Then the buttons will be XP style then.
If you using VS 2003, then search on XP Theme the help section filtered to
'visual basic' and you will see the doco on how do do other controls as
well.

See my reply... It seems that you set the 'FlatStyle' property and used
a manifest or 'EnableVisualStyles'.

Thanks for the tip, that makes sense. We always use System, so when our
stuff showed up in XP format by default on the XP boxes, I just assumed
(incorrectly) that it was the default behavior.
Thanks again,

Only the nonclient area of the window will have the XP look by default.
