cleaner appearance
From: Scott
Date Posted: 12/20/2003 5:35:00 PM



Hello,

I just started using VB6. I was hoping to make a cleaner user interface
than with VB5. Does VB6 make the kind of clean interfaces that we see in a
lot of products, or are those interfaces made with C++?

Any help on this, or sample applications would be great.

Thanks.

Hello,

One of you helped me with the question below with the web site
www.vbaccelorator.com This is great, but I can't get the samples on this
site to work, something is always missing when I try to execute them. Can
someone help me figure out how to have everything that is needed to run the
sample programs with new 'skins'?

Thanks.

Scott

If by 'clean' you're talking about skinned or typically non 'typical'
Windows looking windows then you'll want to be looking into
sub-classing. You'll find a bunch of examples including a skinning component
