Follow these steps to introduce Windows XP visual styles into your Windows application. 1. Create a new Windows Application and add some controls to the default form. 2. For every control you place on the form that has a FlatStyle property, set the property to System. 3. Compile your application. 4. Build a manifest file in the application directory.
