Hello!
I am migrating an old powerbuilder application from version 9.0 to 12.5.
I haven't had many problems. However, all the buttons, combos, etc. maintain the classic style. As you probably now, for a client it is also important that things look well! I have tried everything to change the look of these components to the XP style but I have been unsuccessful.

Can anyone help me?
Thank you!

Regards,
Pedro
 
In the project check your setting for 'Windows classic style' (on the General Tab of the project).

also on a machine you run the executable on check its properties for display style
(Display Properties on the individual machine and make sure the windows and buttons style is
"Windows XP style" and not "Windows Classic style").

Hello Matt!
Thank you for your answer. Your suggestion works if I run my application from Powerbuilder IDE.
But, if I deploy the the application and run it from a shortcut (I am using a *.ini file) it doesn't work. It keeps the old style.
Do you have any other suggestion?

Thanks!
Pedro
