Borland C++ 6 default forms theme is windows classic but I want to change my forms, buttons, comboboxes ...vs what ever I used to xp theme or used operating system theme... How can I do it?

Many thanks for your helps.
 
You will need to use a manifest file with it.
I'm not sure, but doesn't BC++ 6 come with a XP manifest component?
Maybe it's only for Delphi.

You could also look up wxWidgets, I haven't used it but it's supposed to add the "XP look" to your applications.
 
AFAIK, you either have to get a third party widget like described above or get one of CodeGear's (formerly Borland's) newer C++ Builder.
