.NET XP skinning support on the NumericUpDown component

[HillJack]

I'm writing a program in C# using VS.NET 2003. I am using a runtime manifest (RT_MANIFEST) and setting the component FlatStyle's to System to enable the XP skinning style of components that support it. Basically, setting up all the components to look like native XP components. This works on all components so far...

However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this to the NumericUpDown component.

I get this (from my program):

but I want this (from the Windows Date and Time Properties Dialog):

Anyone have any suggestions?

It can't be done. The NumericUpDown component does not have a flatstyle property. You will have to create a custom control (or find one that someone else can provide).... In the most simple case: Create a componet which inherits from the NumericUpDown class and override the OnPaint event. In your overriden OnPaint method perform some GDI+ routins to get the look you are after.
