Yes, i am sure. Read this:
"With Windows XP, Microsoft has coalesced the User Win32 controls with the common shell controls in ComCtl32 version 6. THESE NEW CONTROLS USE THE NEW THEME MANAGER TO RENDER THE APPROPRIATE VISUALS."

No need for doubt. The text above was taken from here (scrool down to "Themes and Controls" subtitle): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/winxpintro.asp?frame=true

What I am looking for is a way to tell VFP to use the controls on the version 6 of the COMCTL32.

Ok?
