If you set the "FlatStyle" property to "System" on the groupbox and buttons you get the XP-style. Seems nice. nice app anyway. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
If you add an imagelist control to the form for use in, lets say, a tab control, add icons to it and run the app, you get an error. {"Index was outside the bounds of the array."} Can you help? PS Using VS 2005 Thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
