    Windows Framework


    Hello!

    I thought that the last post was closed, but then Tom wrote something
    interesting.
    Sorry I didn't post in the old subject...

    The Windows Framework is meant to enabled XP styles, correct?
    If I want to start with a sub main then I cannot have XP styles, correct?

    So what is the usual workaround?
    Put all initialization into the form's load event?

    Out of curiosity... does somebody know why there is such a big
    difference resulting in such elementary decision if we want to use the
    Windows Framework just because we decide to use a sub main??? Or in
    other words: WHY?? :-)

    Best regards!
    Tim.

      No. Call Application.Ena bleVisualStyles as the first line in Sub Main.

      You probably mean the Application Framework, right? Well, it does things for
      us that are not done if we don't use it. :) It includes enabling visual
      styles, but you can enable it also.

                  Okay, I want to get left behind... Can you tell me what the Application
                  Framework means in this case?

                  Best regards,
                  Tim.

                      I noticed you wrote:

                      There isn't really - it's just that with the application framework MS has
                      provided all the initialization code. You can still write your own as you
                      see...

                      Or you can use the provided applicatino framework and handle intialization
                      using the application framework events.
