Mike,

>The MM help talks about using a manifest rather than .EnableVisualStyles(). I'm just curious. Is there any more information on this? Guess I'm looking for a white paper/blog or whatever that may explain the help note that says "... causes many runtime exceptions ...".

If you do a Google search for "EnableVisualStyles" "bug" "Windows Forms" you'll get quite a few hits.

P.S. EnableVisualStyles seems to work just fine in .NET 2.0

Regards,
