Hi!

Before anyone says anything, im not a noob in VB6...

I want to give all my programs a unique graphical style that represents
my style, and at the moment im using Images for all buttons, frameborders etc.
but i want to give the form a rounded style, which requires transparancy, and
i also want fully customaized inputboxes, listviews etc. and i dont know how to do that...

Does anyone know how i should do? Do i need to make ActiveX controls for every item?

I really appriciate help!

My first response if you're looking for something more than just chainging the color is to create a custom control (derived from the control in question if possible) and write a custom onpaint event.

I would make a set of activex controls personally. Draw em out in a graphics editor, then go from there. I't always cool to have a set of em. Mind you an onpaint value wouldnt be bad either. I would make custom controls myself, but it definetly takes time.
