Thanks for the feedback John. I fully appreciate that there are priorities
when it comes to the development of .NET.
It's just a bit annoying when half your project can pick up the XP visual
style and other parts are left looking strange.
I have to admit I've never seen as Microsoft App's have shortcut keys on the
tabs, I'm just used to using the Infragistics tabs in VB 6 which had this
functionality.
Many thanks
Mark
