Group Boxes in .NET Framework Applications
Group Boxes not Rendered with Any Skin
Sunday, March 4, 2007 by AndyRobinson | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi,
Just posting for an update to see if the issues were WindowBlinds would not correctly render the Group Box on a .NET Framework application on Windows XP. I have put the screenshots below to show what I mean.
As you can see, the first image is correct, but can only be displayed correctly using the default Windows XP theme, wereas is you use any other theme for WindowBlinds, you get the problems displayed in the bottom image.
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks, Andrew Robinson.

This should have been addressed in WB 5.5

Hi,
Actuallly, no it has not been fixed.
What is going on with Stardock. You guys are supposed to be certified MS partners, you should be able to resolve this issue faily easily.

Andy -- Being a Certified Gold Partner doesn't mean you 'work next door' to Redmond. Trust me - I work for a company who's just about as close to MS as you can get in terms of partner levels (and physical location) and we still don't get the love I'd expect us to receive!
However - that being said - if this hasn't been fixed yet then it sure as heck does need to. I stopped using WindowBlinds for this very reason.

By default, the FlatStyle property of controls in .Net is set to "Standard"... if you change that to "System", they will skin properly. Don't ask why... I have no idea what's going on there
