VB Forum / General / July 2008Looking for image button control
Hello, i am looking for a button control that can display the image on the left and caption right next to it. I can't use the toolbar control because it makes the size of all the buttons identical, making for weird looking UI. It should be able to look kind of like this: http://sqleffects.com/mystuff/sample.png It would be great if it supported both flat and 3d look. Thanks. > Hello, i am looking for a button control that can display > the image on the left and caption right next to it.

If you want the best control over the shape and other aspects of your buttons then you would probably be better of creating your own button using a User Control to perform the task. Alternatively, if you just want rectangular buttons, you can use a standard PictureBox which will enable you to draw the "button" Up and Down states in whatever way you wish. Mike Apart from Mike's suggestions, here is a demo of the implementaion of such kind of buttons: WinForms VB.NET Picture Hover Button http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/PictureHoverButton.aspx Regards, Jialiang Ge (jialge@online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.')

I'm sorry, everyone. I should have provided some VB6 examples in this newsgroup: http://vbcity.com/pubs/article.asp?alias=flatbutton and http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=1340 Regards, Jialiang Ge (jialge@online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.')

It's not the best way to go, as altering screen and text settings arises problems. If you have a bitmap of the right size, put it into Paint and write the text to the right of it. Then draw a retangle around it and fill it with the colour if not white. Then draw a rubber band around it, and save it to a file with the Copy To under the Edit menu. The up-sizing in paint is not saved. This is only effective in paint and should be done for ease of setting the rubber band in place. The Button style must be set to graphic. /senn |
