Why do my forms look like 'Windows Classic'?

Question

Is there any free tool to style my C# Windows Forms, to make them look like Windows 7 Windows.

**EDIT**

In the designer mode, I have this :

But when I run I get this :

I don't know why I get that. (Old style)

Thanks

I don't care for your -1 sir, so if you have something to say, just say it. – Slovakia

There is one non-free tool around. (-1 isn't mine) – Vintner

aren't they (WinForms) being "skinned" by default depending on user's Windows Version? Or do you want them to look like Win7 in, for example, WinXP? – Pleonasm

I'm so confused, because I'm running the APP in Win 7, but I get the old windows style – Slovakia

nice screenshots, i gave you +1, you deserve it for not letting WinForms die ( : – Pleonasm

Thanks, but you know why I'm getting this in output !! – Slovakia

This doesn't deserve down votes, but the question should be rephrased to be something like: Why do my forms look like 'Windows Classic'? – Pearlypearman

Answer 1

You should enable visual styles

look Application.EnableVisualStyles Method

Call this method before creating any controls

[STAThread]
static void Main() 
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.Run(new YourMainForm());
}

God knows why this isn't the default! :) – Pearlypearman

@Jacob... I thought that was the default for a winforms app... I could be wrong though :) – Redcap

Maybe it is default when building stuff in Visual Studio, but I was building with WinForms using Python for .NET and couldn't figure this out! Thank you :) – Thorny
