Why does a Text box created in FF with the EX_Style = WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE not look like (as nice) a text box created in other forms program using the same styles and Ex_Styles?

Maybe because the new WinXP styling gives it a kind of line border rather than the old style 3D Look ????

If you want/need the old 3D look then turn off WinXP Themes in FireFly (use the menu "Options", "Environment Options", "Code Generation", "Enable WinXP Theme Support".

... and I guess that "nice" is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I have grown to love the new WinXP looking controls more than the older 3D style controls. They look slicker and more modern. :D

Thanks Paul, that did it. I kind-a like the old look.
