XP-style TreeView uses themed images to render checkboxes and plus-minus icons.
While this is not a big problem, Slider, ProgressBars, ToolBar, etc have very different look with XP themes.

Mscomctl.ocx library also contains many bugs and I don't know when they will be fixed. Maybe I need to write my own alternative library.
