    Setting toolbar button style

    I use application.ena blevisualstyles () and develop using visual studio 1.1.
    I know that changing flatstyle for certain controls will give me xp styles
    on those controls. However, I don't know how to get the xp look and feel
    for toolbar buttons. Mine highlight as I pass over them, but they are not
    3d and do not change shades, as do for example the buttons on the toolbar of
    outlook express. How can I do this?

    Thanks for any help.

      Hi,

      I think this is what you are looking for.
      ToolBar1.Appear ance = ToolBarAppearan ce.Flat

              As Ken said, play around with the control's 'Appearance' property. In
              addition, call 'Application.Do Events' directly after calling
              'Application.En ableVisualStyle s' in order to fix a bug which causes
              toolbar icons to disappear.

                  Hi Ken,

                  Tx - what I really wanted you gave me direction to: toolbar1.appear ance =
                  toolbarappearan ce.normal; flat is evidently the default.

                  Thanks again,

                  Bernie

                      Thanks Herfried,

                      As always, you put me in the right direction - and, yes, I do avoid the bug
                      with application doevents. Tx again.

                      Bernie
