Answer 1

First you need to create a manifest file:








version="1.0.0.0"

processorArchitecture="X86"

name="CompanyName.AppName.AppExeName.exe"

type="win32" />

App Description






type="win32"

name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"

version="6.0.0.0"

processorArchitecture="X86"

publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"

language="*" />









Save it as .exe.manifest and make sure it's located in the same location as your application.



Then just declare the InitCommonControls() API, and call it on your form initialize event.

Answer 2

Are you talking about the "Start" button. Easy, just assign an image to the button and then pop up a menu when the button is clicked and a different menu when right-mouse-button is clicked.
