Hi<br />
<br />
I'm in the process of writting a C# Com GUI for use in an old C++ V6 application.<br />
<br />
The C# COM object creates a WinForm and shows it in a predefined place (making it look as if it's actually a C++ dialog)<br />
<br />
Everything is working fine except that when I open the form, the buttons are no longer the nice C# .Net style wiht shading and rounded edges, but have changed to the old boring xp style square and gray background.<br />
<br />
Same goes for the combo box if I choose the DropDownList style, so I assume the same goes for all the controls.<br />
<br />
Is there some way to force the COM object to use the .Net style controls?<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
Hank<br />

.Net COM button style

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Editors IDEs

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
