    [RESOLVED] Visual Effects!! in windows form??

    Hello Guys, What i wanted to ask is how to add different visual effects in the buttons and other areas to make it look a nicer on windows Form Application. I know It is easy on WPF using Xpression Blend but can we use same software for Windows Form? If not can we add effects on button like different effect on hover, different effect when clicked and different effect on idle stage?

    Sure you can do it, but it's a ton of work. Why not use WPF?

    correct my if I'm wrong because last time I saw a WPF app it was about 1 year ago. maybe they improved something already, I'm not quite up-to-date
    win7 x86, VS 2008 & 2010, C++/CLI, C#, .NET 3.5 & 4.0, VB.NET, VBA... WPF is comming

    remeber to give feedback you think my response deserves recognition? perhaps you may want to click the Rate this post link/button and add to my reputation

    private lessons are not an option so please don't ask for help in private, I won't replay

    if you use Opera and you'd like to have the tab-button functionality for the texteditor take a look at my Opera Tab-UserScirpt; and if you know how to stop firefox from jumping to the next control when you hit tab let me know

    I guess your mileage may vary. I've never noticed any blurry text issue.

    WPF rocks - there's really no need to build anything using the older Win forms technology.
