Add this code to a new code file:

\\\
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class Main
Public Shared Sub Main()
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.DoEvents()
Application.Run(New MainForm())
End Sub
End Class
///

Then set the project's startup object to 'Sub Main' in the project's
properties window.
 
Herfried, what is the purpose of Application.DoEvents() in your code chunk?
Is this something I should always be doing in sub main? Would it make any
difference if sub main is prescribed as STA or MTA?

It's a "bugfix". If you don't use it there will be problems with images
in TreeViews and ToolBars.

I think it must be run as STA.

Please note there are still bugs using this with Treeview. Viewing large
icons in the treeview fails if Application.EnableVisualStyles is used at
all...
