    RESOLVED-Help!: XP style option buttons are black in VB6

    Hello.
    i used the trick with the appname.exe.manifest file and the initcommoncontrols thing to have XP style with my VB6 application.

    the problem is that it works but not for option buttons.
    they become black and impossible to read !

    any help?
    thanks!

    never mind i found the solution.
    simply put a picture box as a container for the option buttons and then if you want you can put the picturebox inside a frame .

    Good workaround. I was having the same problems and went with Buttons instead. May actially go back to Option buttons for other things now. Have you found a workaround for the DTPicker? That is the only control I have seen where the XP theme doesn't work. Would like to find a workaround for that as well, because the DTPickers stick out like sore thumbs because everything else is XP style. Thanks!
