If you mean "theme" instead of "style", does the IsThemeActive() function in "uxtheme.dll" solve the problem? If that is the solution you are looking for, the best approach to implementing this in code is to _dynamically_ load the library "uxtheme.dll" with LoadLibrary() and use GetProcAddress() on IsThemeActive() and then call IsThemeActive(). If all the function calls succeed, then themes are enabled on the target OS - Win98 or otherwise. Otherwise, the OS does not support themes. This is what Microsoft recommends doing instead of trying to detect the OS using functions like GetVersion()/GetVersionEx(). -- Thomas Hruska ------------------------ Yahoo!
