Vista - Message box buttons are not theme styled in WPF apps?

04-05-2006

When I call MessageBox.Show form a WinFX WPF application, the buttons on the
message box are not theme styled but look â€œflatâ€ (like in old Win32
applications which are not enabled for Windows XP themes). I observe this
behaviour on both Windows XP and Vista (Beta 2) with WinFX Feb 2006 CTP
installed.

Is it simply something which is not ready in this CTP version of WinFX, or I
am doing something wrong?

Thanks.

you would have to style it yourself for V1.

Could you clarify, please, what exactly you mean?

Thanks.

You would have to provide code so that the theme is applied on the MessageBox.
