    Exclamation My boring application

    Hey everyone, my application is really boring, its like just a bunch of grey command buttons, i really want to spruce it up and make it look cool, how can i that? i see the buttons and stuff on webpages that when you put the curser over the button something happens, like an animation, or the button turns a different color or something, i want to do that on visual basic 6 to make it look alot cooler, so if you have any suggestions on what i oculd do (and how i could do it, or whrre i could find out how to do it) i would really appreciate it, thanks in advance

    Make a function that uses the APIs GetCursorPosition and GetWindowRect, use the hWnds of pictureboxes, etc. and when the getcursorposition is within the getwindowrect it's over it... when it's not it's not... much better then using the MouseOver and MouseOuts... then you just change to another picture!
