WB5: Visual Studio 6 Problem

from WinCustomize Forums
I've just found what seems to be a problem with the WB beta 5 release (4.90g(b).033) - the dialog editor in Visual Studio 6 is hosed: the "drag border" doesn't show up around the dialog window, thus no ability to size the dialog.

Prior to the beta release there was no problem.

Tried using per-application settings - set to a different theme with no per-pixel stuff, set to title-bar only. The only thing that works is excluding completely.

My WB debug info:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

Simple enough to solve.. Just use VS .NET 2003..

Actually, skip 2003 and use 2005, it's supposed to be an exponential improvement!!

Simple for you perhaps.

Unfortunately, in our work environment it's not always practical to scrap/rewrite/port all the code to keep up with Microsoft's latest semi-compatible upgrades.
