I want the form's look and feel like XP

[K. Naga Kiran Kumar]

I am working on a VB.NET project
The main requirement of this project is to get XP look and
feel to the application.
All controls should look like XP controls.
The form control also.
I am able to get this XP style to all controls except Form
control.

I want this form contol also look like XP form.
If we run the application in win2000, then also it should
look like XP form.

If any solution for this, plz help me....
I am even ready to buy the controls

Thanks

um...
Running your app in Win2K won't give it any XP styles, will it?

Hi,

You would have to add a skin to your form. Maybe this will help.

Not without a special set of controls.

As far as I understand, the OP wants to apply Windows XP Visual Styles
to the non-client area of a form under Windows 2000.
