Hello!

I thought that the last post was closed, but then Tom wrote something
interesting.
Sorry I didn't post in the old subject...

The Windows Framework is meant to enabled XP styles, correct?
If I want to start with a sub main then I cannot have XP styles, correct?

So what is the usual workaround?
Put all initialization into the form's load event?

Out of curiosity... does somebody know why there is such a big
difference resulting in such elementary decision if we want to use the
Windows Framework just because we decide to use a sub main??? Or in
other words: WHY?? :-)

Best regards!
Tim.

No. Call Application.EnableVisualStyles as the first line in Sub Main.

You probably mean the Application Framework, right? Well, it does things for
us that are not done if we don't use it. :) It includes enabling visual
styles, but you can enable it also.

Yes! Right! I mean the Application Framework! Phew, thanks :-)))

Good to hear that I can keep my old programming style...

Cheers,

Times are changing ;-)

Okay, I want to get left behind... Can you tell me what the Application
Framework means in this case?

Best regards,
Tim.

I noticed you wrote:

There isn't really - it's just that with the application framework MS has
provided all the initialization code. You can still write your own as you
see...

Or you can use the provided applicatino framework and handle intialization
using the application framework events.
