Finding more modern updated GUI controls like buttons, combobox, etc for Visual Basic 6

Is there a way to update the look and feel of certain controls in VB6.  Can I update the buttons, combobox, etc in VB6 to have a more modern look?  If so, where would I find updated GUI buttons, dropdowns, etc..    And then how would I update the software to use them?

Thanks.

So there is an answer, but its basically not an easy one?
No, I'm saying that I don't know any way of doing what you want. You need to rewrite the app in a modern language like VB.Net.

That's a dead link.
That’s a shame.  Something so small as aestheticss makes a big difference sometimes for the end user
Are you aware that support for VB6 stopped in 2008?
Yes.  But I’m still using it. ; )
Still an easy language to use for some things.  Especially if I’m stuck with it
I've done VB6 for over 30 years and still do some :)
I’m glad I was able to help.
