Windows XP theme in Visual Basic 6.0 Problem

The problem:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309366

If you enable a Windows XP theme in Visual Basic 6.0, you may encounter unexpected behavior. For example, if you place option buttons on top of a Frame control and then enable a Windows XP theme or visual style, the option buttons on the Frame control appear as black blocks when you run the executable file.


Solution:

Place the OptionButtons on a PictureBox. Set the pictureboxes properties (background, border, ...) to make it 'invisible' if you want. You're done :)
