Thanks for your answer :-)


>VFP 9's menus are the same old menus as past versions of VFP.

This is what I was worried! :(


>Alex Grigorjev has a product called CommandBars that allows you to create Office 2000, XP, 2003, and VS Studio 2005 style menus and toolbars. I love this product! This product allows you to create the SAME professional style menu and toolbar interfaces as Microsoft or anyone using .NET with 3rd party menu/toolbar components. CommandBars adds 245K to your project and does this via 2 VCX class libraries - NO ACTIVEX components to distribute!!!

Actually I was not asking for a third party product. For that I have my own DLL/FLL built in function with many styles and full of color (remember the thread with Terry) ? And I have used that since VFP version 6 ! But thanks anyway :-)

This is my problem. In my apps, I always gave one screen called "User Preferences". That is for user to configured the "looks & feel" the way they wanted. And I also give one "Magic Button" to reset everything back to Default (inherit from OS). So if the user press this button they will have the standard OS behavior. Or should I say, standard VFP behavior.

So in that case the user will not get the standard XP behavior (flat style). This is what I'm worrying about.
