I've never heard the term before. It's to display the controls using Windows Visual Styles. First introduced in XP, you can see the XP style buttons for example, that have a rounded shape and mouseover effect, etc. In the case of Windows Common Controls (1 and 2), you can see the toolbars, UpDown's controls, etc. with visual styles, but just using v5.

Hmmm...I think I'll put VB5 on a machine and see what up with that.

It's nothing to do with VB5 itself. The V5 controls were distributed with VB6 as well. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems
