VB2005 textbox - how to get 3D look like VB2003?

[=?Utf-8?B?UmljaA==?=]

Hello,

I selected BorderStyle = Fixed3D for a textbox on a form in VB2005, but the
textbox looks flat. In VB2003 the textbox has the same borderStyle =
Fixed3D and has a 3D appearance. Is it possible to get the same 3D
appearance for a textbox in VB2005? How to do this? All of my textboxes are
flat looking.

Thanks,
Rich

Turn off Visual Styles in the application framework settings ("My
Project" -...). However, note that a themed application integrates better
with other applications visually if visual styles are enabled for the
system.

Rich,

Try disabling XP Visual Styles in the project's properties.
