XP icon style in VB6? 3

[eman6]

Is it possible to use XP button styles in VB6.
I am not even sure if it is a standards in VB 7, but for now I would like to use the XP style in VB6, if possible.

Not the Start menu, the Appearance. The manifest makes your application follow the settings selected under Display Properties/Appearance

Yes, of course, I completely forgot about the Windows style in Appearance.
Excellent observation DrJavaJoe and thanks both, you and strongm

However, when I use icons in my application in VB6, under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Graphics
I have an old fashioned style icons.

Where can I get new ones from? (Microsoft, maybe?)

You need to find the icons or make them yourself, here's a link for Creating Windows XP Icons.



Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.

Thanks again DrJavaJoe
I was looking for icons to download and got some that would not unzip (error-ed), so I was wondering if Microsoft (or any trustworthy source you may happen to know) offers some for download.

Thanks for the link. If I really cannot find to download, I'll have to find time to create a few I guess

Like JohnBlaze1 mentioned, the Palette colors (properties) loses color appearance and shows all blank, although by clicking, you can still (blind-foldly) select colors.
Obviously it's a little like a face life on a 60 year old lady. She would probably look younger, but she will not be 100% like her daughter, would she.
