Hi grenz07, You dont have to add any component. Just a simple code and a text file called manifest file. For the details, check it out here... http://coderstalk.blogspot.com/2007/03/how-to-add-xp-visual-style-to-your.html

thanks dude but why is it that my lstview control doesn't look like the xp style listview control?

The listView control is wrapped in other UserControl which Microsoft has previously built which didn't use the new ComCtl32.dll and didn't call the InitCommonControls API. Thus, the look will not use WinXP style.
