[RESOLVED] Image Glow Efect [help]

[*PsyKE1*]

Hi all, to see if you can help me:
I have an Image and I wanted to give a button, it acquired a glow effect.
Currently I do is put two pictures and when I hit the hidden button and show the normal which has the glow effect ...
But I think it could be done using APIs, right?

Thanks in advance

Hi, do you mean something like this? (see attached file).

GDI+ can probably do something like that, depending on how elaborate you want to make it I'd say it can do exactly what you want.

Thank you very much reacen!
I was doing something similar, but I think it can be done with APIs and based on only the normal button, can I explain?

Im sorry, I don't understund. Do you mean like a command-button? A simple OCX control instead of all that code?
and by "glow effect" do you mean the fading in, and fading out effect?

Sorry about my english..

Ok, suppose I have this button:

Then when I positioned the cursor over it, showed an effect similar to this:

But without having to use two images, ie using Apis.

I don't know about anyone else, but I cannot see any of your pictures.

Rather than uploading them to an external site, please attach them here instead - which you can do by clicking "Post Reply" (or "Go Advanced" from the Quick Reply or Edit), then "Manage Attachments".

Try this... (without using API's)

Set the backcolor of commandbutton to anything except the default color
Set the style of commandbutton to graphical

Private Sub Command1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Command1.BackColor <> &HFFFF00 Then _
    Command1.BackColor = &HFFFF00
End Sub

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Command1.BackColor <> &HC0C0C0 Then _
    Command1.BackColor = &HC0C0C0
End Sub

Ok, but i haven't a command i have a image...

Thacks :P

Well, I still don't know what you mean. But here you have all the three ways I know to make a graphic button, please see the attached file.

[*PsyKE1*]

OK, thanks It can help me...
Which of the three ways you make me advice?

Thanks!

[reacen]

I'd say the ActivX one (OCX), as its verry simple, less code, and clean.
Good luck.
