Outlook 'look and feel'

C

Craig Buchanan

My add-in's forms and control have a distinctly windows 98 (or so) feel
about them. Is there something that I need to do in my VS 2005 project to
use the Windows XP style?

Thanks,

Craig Buchanan

With Framework 2.0 or higher (too buggy in Framework 1.0 and 1.1) put this
as your first code line in the OnConnection() event handler or Startup():

System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles();

That will enable styles for your addin, but not for custom Outlook forms.
