You can pull of a trick that is similar with a few graphics of the shape you disire and use the mouse over and click events to get a number of "animations" (swap graphic1 for graphc2).

If that helps?

I am working on a small project to produce XP buttons.
I found a project a few years ago that did this, it alos did MANY other styles of buttons. Very well done too. Icons, shaped buttons (round, oval, rectangle and others). Virtually ALL properties are customisable.

I didn't want all the code that came with this, so I have been stripping out unwanted code for other button style I would never use. I have also started adding a propper naming convention to varibles, and taken out either evil code, or unused code.

I am trying to get it down so that I have well structured code for an XP style button. I am getting there.

Anyways, here's both projects. I have no idea where I got the original project from If this is your code, and you're reading this then cheers. Nice job

My project is vbXPButton.
Just run Text.vpg

The project I am cutting down and refining is:
XP Buttons.zip
The project you want to run is:

prjSampleButtons.vbp

Just click yes when VB pops a msg box up.

That is really sweet and slick, Woka - I've seen it before.
You might have downloaded from galahtech but it's also available @planetsourcecode:

... and if I am not mistaken it was made by Keith Fox

woof woof

The round and ovals look like they could benefit from some anti-aliasing

Yea, I think I may have gotten it from there.
Damn he's redesigned the code to be better, and with less flaws.
Right. Better start from scratch again.

Quality controls

OK, here's my new cut down version of the XP button.
I have also added 2 new properties:

• GotFocusBorderColor
• HoverBorderColor

The original code has the border colors hard coded to red and blue.
You can now change these colors and it creates a shaded border.

Way more work needs to be done on this code as some of his code is a little sloppy.
