EnableVisualStyles

[Terence Rossow]

G''day,

We enabled XP visual styles prior to calling Application.Run by calling Application.EnableVisualStyles and then Application.DoEvents (and then Application.Run). However we began to recieve this error - quite rarely at first, but now more and more:

''System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException''

It appeared to originate in the System.Windows.Forms dll. We then found this article from Microsoft at http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_897298.aspx:

An unhandled exception of type ''System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException'' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll
Note This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
• The event calls the Application.EnableVisualStyles method again.
• The event calls the Application.EnableVisualStyles method when a form loads or after a form loads.

Removing our initial call seemed to fix the problem. Since we only call EnableVisualStyles once, I was wondering if any Syncfusion code might call EnableVisualStyles.

Cheers.

Hi Terry

We use the manifest file to enable the visual styles, this would fix your problem.
