Another way to do it: Draw a bitmap with whatever look you want your button to have (hint: with the rectangle frame you want); Make a custom font resource out of that bitmap (hint: do it for all your buttons); Specify the buttons borderless and use the single char in your custom font as the button label.
So far, there have been FOUR legal ways (see my other post) to do it, why bother with the incompatible one? :) Max --- Max Bian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi. > > The rectangle button is nothing hard to do.
