VB.NET style componenets with VB6
One of the things that bugs me with vb6 is that all the form components look like the old Win98 theme, whereas the .NET ones look sleek and more like the rest of the system.
Is there a way to get the vb6 form components (buttons, the form, radio buttons etc) to look more like the VB.NET ones?

Not by default.... it usually requires the purchase of a third party library control set...

Do you know the name of this control? :)

just enable xp styles by adding a manifest.
Do a search on the forum you'll get a lot of answers.

Using a manifest helps as some1uk said, but will, of course, look bland again on older versions of Windows before XP.
Lots of control replacements have been made and can be found at www.pscode.com/vb ; probably at least one for each control you want. And there's also www.vbAccelerator.com which has a bunch of high quality open source controls and libraries.
Personally, I like writing my own. You should experiment and try to make your own UserControl in case you can't find one you like.
