Palm OS actually supports rectangular frames around buttons, but this feature is missed in the Constructor and Control API.
Try the following code (if you have an access to internals of Palm OS structures): ControlPtr ctlP = (ControlPtr)GetObjectPtr(frmP, <Button ID>); ctlP->attr.frame = rectangleButtonFrame; You'll see properly working rectangular button. It's better to patch the Constructor and to enable this feature for developers. ______________________________________________ Best regards, Maks Pyatkovskiy > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-palm-dev- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ben Combee > Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 12:13 PM > To: Palm Developer Forum > Subject: Re: Square buttons and Constructor > > In article <87270@palm-dev-forum>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... > > > > I'm getting my feet wet with CW and Constructor.
