Microsoft XP Style Buttons and Controls on Form in .Net

Change style of Buttons to Microsoft XP Standard using .Net

Visual style is the user-modifiable appearance of the user interface of an application or operating system. By default, Windows XP provides a new visual style. The scroll bars and title bar of a Windows Form will automatically use the new visual style when the form is run on Windows XP. If your application calls the EnableVisualStyles method, most of your Windows Forms controls will automatically use the visual style when your application is run on Windows XP

Private Sub frmDND1Main_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Application.EnableVisualStyles()

End Sub
