Bitmap - buttons won't fill entirely with BMP, border rests

[PeerBr]

Hey,

If I want to make a button with my own graphics, I set style to "graphically" and give it a custom bmp. The button is 855x15 Twips, that's with me 57x21 Pixel. OK, I create a BMP that is exactly that size in pixels. Now, I set btn.caption to "" and throw in the Bitmap. All is fine except for that the BMP doesn't take up the whole space, the button still has a grey border and the BMP is slightly offset.

I can work around this using a picture box, but then I don't have options like DownPicture etc. or I'd have to do this manually

So is there a solution?

Thanks!!

Try making your Image larger.

Never tried to do it that way, but you could look for something like a BorderStyle property. Or just make your own using a picturebox like you suggested, just use the MouseDown and MouseUp events to draw the picture...

That BorderWidth-thing would be it, but there is no such property for anything else than lines.

If I simply enlarge the button, maybe the whole image would fit in, but with that ugly grey border which really makes colored images look like crap!!

Hmm if nothing else helps than I guess I'll have to stick to the image-field version
