In Visual Studio 2013, (since my PC is Windows 8), I want my form designer to look like Windows 8 Windows. Instead, it has the Windows 7 Style, as seen in the images below. How am I to get the preview to have the Windows 8 Style instead of the Windows 7 Style?

Our desktop ERP built in VB.NET is suddenly not showing scrollbars in DataGrid control on Windows 10 after updates - KB5001337, KB5001406 (May 2021)
The space for the scrollbars appears but there are no up and down arrows visible!
Same application is showing the scrollbars in Datagrid control on Windows 7 PCs/ windows 10 without these updates.
We have multiple Datagrid controls throughout the application so need to find a fix asap
Windows.forms.Datagrid .NET Framework version 3 was used to build in VS 2010
Have already tried -
Settings -> Ease of Access-> Automatically hide scrollbars in Windows (turn off)
Tried running the ERP using Windows 7 compatibility mode
Since our network administrator istn't capable of (de)-installing any updates in a short term view, we have found a workaround for this problem:
You have to activate the XP-Styles in your Visual-Studio application settings and the scrollbars are back!
A small disadvantage is that your application looks a little bit different, but the differnce is only small.
If you uninstall KB5001337 and install KB5001566 this should resolve the issue. Windows found the KB5001566 update automatically after I uninstalled the KB5001337 update.
Yeah I was too facing this issue. I have just uninstalled this update
Got the same issue with the KB5001337 on a windows 10 Version 1909. Updating to Windows 10 Version 20H2 resolved the issue here.
I've added a Windows Forms form to a VB.net application, and I'm showing it with the usual:
Dim form As New FormInsCapiLettore()
form.ShowDialog()
The problem is that the form, when shown, has an incredibly ugly "windows 95" style. Basically the system theme (Windows 10 in my case) does not get applied. The result is in the screenshot below:
As you can see, not only does it look ugly and non-native, but the layout also screws up: notice the TextBox spilling outside the "input" GroupBox and the "Fine" Button not filling the vertical space.
Notice that the form looks absolutely fine in the Visual Studio designer, with the native look! But when launched, the form has no theme and looks like the screenshot.
Any clues? Additional info:
Running Windows 10 x64
Visual Studio 2015
Application compiled against .NET 4.0
You need to call Application.EnableVisualStyles().
I am updating a Visual Basic Windows Forms application that was written for Windows XP.
What form property do I set to tell a windows form to accept the default Windows 8 / 10 flat theme? Is it a global setting per application or a per-form setting?
The main form and some child forms of my application look fine with modification.
However, some of my child forms still have Windows XP/7's textured look:
I read some posts that point to "EnableVisualStyles = true". However that question was asking how to get the Windows XP styles, rather than Win 95/95 styles. I need some clarification on what the setting should be for newer Win 8 / 10 theme.
MDI Child forms are a special type of form that is not considered a TopLevel form, and windows themes only affect TopLevel forms.
Microsoft has been deprecating the use of Multiple Document Interfaces (MDI didn't even get written into WPF) in favor of Tabbed interfaces.
I'm using a ListBox to display some items in my Windows 8 App.
I would like to pan it down just in like I do it in the Windows Phone version: click anywhere and drag up or down. Also, it would be nice to see the scroll only when the items are in movement (again, like the windows phone version).
How can I achieve that?
Did test app for Windows CE Winforms App.
Main form has about 30 px gray area between the form header and the actual content.
On the device itself (not emulator). CF 3.5 CE 6.0
What to do?
Remove the Menu from the Form or add MenuItems to it.
