Changing the FlatStyle property at runtime

[husain]

I wrote a couple of functions that will change the FlatStyle property of all form controls to System automatically at runtime (to give my applications a Windows XP look).

I had written it in VB actually and converted it into C#. The C# code does not work. My application compiles without any errors but the FlatStyle property does not change. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me debug this code.

// Put these two static methods in any of your classes to use them.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public static void XPStyle(Form FRM)
{
  if (Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major > 4 &&
      Environment.OSVersion.Version.Minor > 0 &&
      File.Exists(Application.ExecutablePath + ".manifest"))
  {
    for (int x = 0; x < FRM.Controls.Count; x++)
    {
      if (FRM.Controls[x].GetType() == typeof(ButtonBase))
      {
        ((ButtonBase) FRM.Controls[x]).FlatStyle = FlatStyle.System;
      }
      if (FRM.Controls[x].GetType() == typeof(GroupBox))
      {
        ((GroupBox) FRM.Controls[x]).FlatStyle = FlatStyle.System;
      }
      if (FRM.Controls[x].GetType() == typeof(Label))
      {
        ((Label) FRM.Controls[x]).FlatStyle = FlatStyle.System;
      }
      RecursiveXPStyle(FRM.Controls[x]);
    }
  }
}

private static void RecursiveXPStyle(Control CTR)
{
  for (int x = 0; x < CTR.Controls.Count; x++)
  {
    if (CTR.Controls[x].GetType() == typeof(ButtonBase))
    {
      ((ButtonBase) CTR.Controls[x]).FlatStyle = FlatStyle.System;
    }
    if (CTR.Controls[x].GetType() == typeof(GroupBox))
    {
      ((GroupBox) CTR.Controls[x]).FlatStyle = System;
    }
    if (CTR.Controls[x].GetType() == typeof(Label))
    {
      ((Label) CTR.Controls[x]).FlatStyle = System;
    }
    if (CTR.Controls.Count > 0)
    {
      RecursiveXPStyle(CTR.Controls[x]);
    }
  }
}
