This method enables visual styles for the application. Controls will draw with visual styles if the control and the operating system support it. To have an effect, EnableVisualStyles()()() must be called before creating any controls in the application; typically, EnableVisualStyles()()() is the first line in the Main function. A separate manifest is not required to enable visual styles when calling EnableVisualStyles()()().

Prior to the .NET Framework 2.0, the
FlatStyle property of some controls, such as controls that derive from ButtonBase, had to be set to FlatStyle..::.System in order for the controls to be drawn with visual styles. In applications written with the .NET Framework 2.0, this is no longer necessary.

This method will have no effect for controls hosted in Internet Explorer.
