Hi,

Add a Paint event[^] to your form:

C#

public Form1()
{
     InitializeComponent();
     this.Paint += Form1_Paint;
}

And in the Form1_Paint method:

C#

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
     DrawVisualStyleElementExplorerBarHeaderPin1(e);
}

Hope this helps.
