Bob,

Are you referring to the buttons used in WinXP? Or the buttons used in Mac Systems? I use Windows XP Pro myself and the buttons have radius on the corners but they are NO Mac buttons for sure.

The use of the BevelButton functions maybe your best bet to get something close to the Mac Style buttons.

Subject: Building Applications for Windows


I am a Mac user who needs to do a build for Win XP for an application I have written (I have someone who wants to pay me for a Win license....).

I am using version 2005 so I know I am not up to date and this client may be the driver for me to upgrade.

However, when I run my beautiful interface on Win XP Home, I see something ugly. Buttons are square boxes, tabs are even squarer and more ugly - I don't see the nice things that I normally see on Windows applications, nice rounded corners, shadow effects, etc. Is it not possible to do this in Realbasic using cross compilation? Or is it a problem with version 2005? Is there a document somewhere that us Mac people can peruse to get details of how to make nice Windows applications from our Mac Realbasic? The copy of the manual I have only lists things to think about but no pointers as to how to address them.

All thoughts/ideas/pointers appreciated
