Hi everybody,

I have a question which after searching 99999 times in the Internet I
started feeling that it's impossible.

The question is:

How can I enforce the Visual Style in my application when the user
uses "Classic Windows XP theme" in Windows Display properties without
using commercal libraries?

Logically, it seems to me possible, but no luck so far.

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for responding.

Malek.

A Form is an object inherited by the OS. You would have to override
the rendering of the form and write a whole lot of "prettifying
code". It is possible, but almost certainly not worth the effort.

or you could display it as a borderless, title-bar less form and add
pretty borders around the edge.
