I need to owner draw an RTB to give it a standard style for an App I'm writing.

Is there a managed solution to invoke the Theme APIs in UxTheme.dll?
Right now I'm just doing a bunch of [DllImports] using the InteropServices but it's not as elegant as I'd like.

Does anyone have a managed wrapper either written or is there one that comes by default with .NET 2.0? This is really a shame that this isn't included.

It's the System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles namespace in .NET 2.0.

That's not how the theming API works.  The theming API assists custom control developers by drawing components on-demand.  .NETskinEx overrides the default implementation of non-client area drawing.

Thanks.
