Hi folks,
This one has been buggin me for ages, and still cant see a way to do it.
I want to have a bitmap button, but have to draw the entire button as a bitmap. i.e. I would like to place a bitmap on a button, rather than REPLACE the button with a bitmap, which still seems to be how it works at the moment.
This used to be acceptable, but now with XP and vista default buttons take on a different shape and style, so drawing buttons that matched Win98/2000 now look out of place in XP at the side of a standard text button.
Ideally it would be cool to place a small image on a button, possibly with some text (standard text property) while retaining the botton style (i.e. frame and colour) of the OS its running on…
Cheers,
Rich

I use SRPs OLE button control to do this. It's very easy to use and makes my application look much better. Using this control I just re-created my applications tool bar, to make it look more up to date. Send me your email and I'll send you a screen shot of what it looks like, [email protected]
You can get details of the OLE button control (and other control that SRP offer) from [email protected]
