There is a thread about it here with some code for the unmanaged imports; http://bytes.com/topic/net/answers/404769-uxtheme-dll-skinning[^]

There are also several articles on CodeProject about the subject, use the article search for UXtheme.

Here is one article (mainly c#, but you could port across to vb.net)
Advanced UxTheme wrapper[^]
