Color of the selection bar in a contextmenu

[muli_treiber]

Hi,
i want to know where the color property of this bar is located.
By default it is orange, but since i instantiate my forms from a sub main the bar is gray and i cant figure out how to change this.

See attachment what i mean.

Hi,
as always i accidentally found the answer to my problem .

The reason why the color disappeared/changed was that i was no longer using the "application framework" (project properties).
Without it the used controls no longer had the xp visual style. Conclusion: i needed to add a manifest to my Application to enable the xp visual style.

peace

Are you sure you need a manifest? Did you try calling the EnableVisualStyles method of the Application class?

Yeah, i stumbled on this function after i found the manifest solution. And you are right both ways work.
