Hi,

I've been looking how to make VFP command buttons prettier.

In http://vfpimaging.blogspot.com/2006/07/gradient-objects-with-gdi-revisited_48.html there is an interesting technique that creates a composite image with the label and icon specified in the command button plus a gradient background. It then stretches the new image on top of the button for a combined effect. Very clever.

I'd like to modify the class so that instead of a gradient background it shows the picture of a beautiful button. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Alex
