XP style controls in W2000

Hi,

How Can I have in my VB.NET-application XP-like Controls, when it is
deployed on Windows 2000? I don't think a manifest file will work than? Or I
didn't manage to get it work?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter

That's not supported because Common Controls 6 are not redistributable.
There are some third-party control suites which will bring Windows XP-style
controls to older Windows versions, but often these controls are not an
exact copy and potential legal issues exist.

Hi,

Windows 2000 does not support the xp theme. Here are some
samples you can find at the code project and windows forms website.
