Convecerning Grapic Buttons I've found s.th about a toolbar control at MSDN. Maybe it's of any help.

Hi,

thanks for the script

is there a way to add text and graphic to the button?

thanks

[corrupt]

At the moment... the easiest way would be to create a custom bitmap with the desired text.

easy example, create a record button , save with irfanview

Ok so this script was awesome, my only question is how/what would someone need to change to make it so you could get the images from a Icon Library file such as an ICL or a DLL???

My concern is that by the time I am finished with my niffty little script I will have roughly around 20 image-buttons (using .ico files btw) and I don't want to have them all just randomly placed in a subfolder within my script's directory. It just seems much more "professional" to have fewer needed items, and it would make the files a little more secure in terms of someone messing with the images.

If someone can help me out with this soon it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance

@garry: Your example, Tue Apr 04, 2006 10:14 pm, was very helpful for me, thank you very much.

Dear robiandi,

Dear Goyyah, many thanks for the information.

I know this is a very old post but the content is very important so I thought I would give it a bump so that it won't go unnoticed!

Clear throat. Cough twice...

OK, I'll break. My motivation is a bit more selfish...

I noticed that buttons created using this technique appear to be using the Window Classic style (at least for me). Here's what it looks like on my computer. The 2nd and 3rd buttons are the best examples.



Is there any way to get the program to use the default button style?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Probably not. Themed buttons are drawn using bitmaps, I suppose they don't merge well with graphic buttons. Classic buttons are drawn with brushes (or pens), they are actually just a border. So they mix well with other graphics.

Maybe you can workaround the problem with one of Goyyahs Tricks.

Don't know if it's of any help.

example for color buttons
save a small color part (from second script) with IrfanView to red.bmp/green.bmp
or just add a picture=
