Visibility of groupboxes in Windows Vista
JD:
Hi all,
In XP, the GroupBox caption is blue while its border is a distinctive visible shade of grey. In Vista however, the groupbox caption is black & its border looks engraved on the form!
Does anyone know how I can mimic the XP look of groupboxes in Vista?
Thanks for your suggestions! :D
Troodon:
I think that is controlled by Windows.

Is there any way to override that behaviour? Will it involve looking at Win32 API functions?
Troodon:
I don't know whether that is possible or not. However, each widget set has its own design and consistency. What you are asking is equivalent to: "Can I change the widget set look and feel for my application?" As a user I would expect an application running on XP to have the XP look and feel; the same on Vista.

You have a point there but it wouldn't hurt to be able to change just the caption of the groupbox to blue colour like XP.
So I guess I'm just thinking wishfully! :-\
