Can I use same control as Windows XP style in my app. Ex.: Button as flat
and round coner, groupbox as round coner, all scrollbar and drop down is
blue etc. ... I use VB.NET 2003 on Windows XP Pro sp1 and my control is old
design
 
Hi, when your application starts (e.g. in the Sub Main or your form's 'New'
method), put the following lines:

Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.DoEvents()

I've forgotten to mention that controls that support the FlatStyle property
must have their FlatStyle set to system, for the visual styles to appear.

NET 1.0:

Set the controls' 'FlatStyle' properties to 'System', then add an application manifest.
