> How do I get the Windows XP skins look and feel with C++ Builder 6?

BCB6 was released before XP was.  As such, BCB6 does not have any XP support
at all.

Standard API-based components, like TButton, TEdit, etc. should already have
themes appear when enabled as their appearance is managed by the OS, not the
VCL.  Custom-drawn components, such as TStringGrid, TSpeedButton, etc. do
not support XP themes at all.

Have a look at TThemeManager from http://www.delphi-gems.com.  It is not a
do-all solution, but it is about the closest thing BCB can have to decent XP
theme support without rewriting everything yourself manually.
