WinXP Visual Styles in Wizard - Wizard for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by Boyd - Sr. Software Developer, Patterson Consulting, LLC

There's probably something very small that I'm overlooking, but the Wizard buttons (Back, Next, etc) do not draw with WinXP Visual Styles on my machine. I've included a manifest with my application, but it doesn't have an effect on Wizard.

Any quick ideas??

I believe you have to set the Wizard.ButtonFlatStyle property. That changes the FlatStyle property of all the buttons.

That, of course, did the trick. Thanks!

Sorry, but what kind of this property I must set, that the button is in WinXP style?

It's just like any other Button.FlatStyle property... set it to FlatStyle.System to get the XP look as long as you have a manifest in your application.
