Comments

The UseThemes property defines whether Windows themes can be used.

Windows themes are only available on Windows XP and above. Windows themes can be enabled by the user using Control Panel. If Windows themes are not available (on earlier Windows versions) or if the user has disabled themes, the control will be displayed using its built-in style and this property has no effect.

Keep in mind that numerous tab definitions, particularly relating to colors, have no effect when themes are active. You can find out if a specific tab setting has any effect with themes active by consulting the tab setting's detail information in this online help.
