Hi guys,

I have created outlook explorer toolbar using the Add-in-Express.

Its great, but do not know how to apply the XP Themes to the outlook toolbar. Currently, I set the background color of the control to match the default XP theme. But, this is not true as the themes may vary.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dmistry,

To enable XP Themes for a host application you can use either a global manifest file or the EnableVisualStyles method. 


public AddinModule()
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    InitializeComponent();
}
