With Framework 2.0 or higher (too buggy in Framework 1.0 and 1.1) put this
as your first code line in the OnConnection() event handler or Startup():

System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyle s();

That will enable styles for your addin, but not for custom Outlook forms.

My add-in's forms and control have a distinctly windows 98 (or so) feel
about them. Is there something that I need to do in my VS 2005 project to
use the Windows XP style?

Thanks,
