Property Value
Type: System.Windows.Forms.VisualStylesA bitwise combination of the System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles
This VisualStyleState property determines whether visual styles are enabled in client areas or nonclient areas of application windows. Generally, this property should be set within the main form's constructor or Load event handler.
The following code example sets the VisualStyleState property to one of the System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles
Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles button1.Click
If radioButton1.Checked Then
Application.VisualStyleState = _
VisualStyleState.ClientAreaEnabled
ElseIf radioButton2.Checked Then
Application.VisualStyleState = _
VisualStyleState.NonClientAreaEnabled
ElseIf radioButton3.Checked Then
Application.VisualStyleState = _
VisualStyleState.ClientAndNonClientAreasEnabled
ElseIf radioButton4.Checked Then
Application.VisualStyleState = _
VisualStyleState.NoneEnabled
End If
' Repaint the form and all child controls.
Me.Invalidate(True)
End Sub
void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (radioButton1.Checked)
{
Application.VisualStyleState =
VisualStyleState.ClientAreaEnabled;
}
else if (radioButton2.Checked)
{
Application.VisualStyleState =
VisualStyleState.NonClientAreaEnabled;
}
else if (radioButton3.Checked)
{
Application.VisualStyleState =

}
// Repaint the form and all child controls.
