Hi All,

I want to dynamically change the Application.EnableVisualStyles flag.
I have an application that uses a startup form (.Net Framework 2.0)
and if I set the EnableVisualStyles in the Application.Startup event
it doesn't work.
The only way it works is if I set this flag at design time in the
Application properties.
Any suggestions on how I can change this flag dynamically without
using Sub Main()?

Thanks
JB

I mean, call it from the Application.Startup event handler.

Hi Armin,

That's what I do. I call
System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles() from the
Application.Startup. And it doesn't work.

Ok. You wrote "Application.EnableVisualStyles flag". Therefore I thought
you meant

Application.EnableVisualStyles = True/False

which sets the property
Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.EnableVisualStyles.

I've tried it and it did work. Don't know what's different.
I haven't tried it with a Splash Screen. .... Now I did but it doesn't
make a difference.

Hi Armin,

Sorry my mistake, I didn't read your post correctly.
I used System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles() as you
suggested and it works perfectly.

Thank you very much.
