Scroll Bars

[MarkW]

Hi
Can the scroll bars appearance be changed?
They have that really old vb grey look, and not the xp blue look.

Thanks

Mark

Hi,

In standard, vb6 doens't support XP themes.

However, you can use the folowing method to add it:

On your Form_Initialize trigger add thes lines:

Code: Select all

On Error Resume Next
InitCommonControls

It must give it

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Initialize()
   On Error Resume Next
   InitCommonControls
End Sub

And add this file to your project ressources: https://gdpicture.com/ressources/support/VBXPthemes.zip (unzip the VBXPthemes.RES file)
In vb6, Right click on your project tree and select Add / Ressource File & select the VBXPthemes.RES file.

Rebuild your project and see the result...

Best regards,
