Why the standard VB FRAME, doesn't show as XP-Style when using appName.exe.manifest?

Hi all,

When I using AppName.EXE.Manifest file, to use XP-Theme, all the standard VB controls style, changes to XP-Theme, except the FRAME. Why?! How can I use the XP-Style frame?!

In the picture below, I show the both XP-Style and none XP-Style FRAME (in other windows app, not in my app) How can I use this XP-Style FRAME in my app?!

I notice that the XP-Style FRAME object class is 'BUTTON'. all the commandButtons, OptionBoxes and CheckBoxes in windows applications is also BUTTON! what is this object?! and how can I use it?! Is it an OCX?! Can I use it in my VB projects?!

Thanks a lot

i think i read that there is some issue with this.. try to put the frame inside a picturebox.

As usual, Static is spot on...the same issue applies to CommandButtons if you happen to place them inside a frame. If they have to be inside a frame, place a picture box in the frame first,and then add the command buttons...
