Thanks for explaining that, I can't tell you how many times I tried to find controls inside the "childtoolbar". :D >From what I read about owner drawn buttons, you can just basically get the rectangle of the button and do whatever gdi can do with a rectangle (fill it, etc.). Each such button would have a handle, etc., which I imagine adds overhead compared to your own approach. Regards, Sheri
