 Text and Graphics on Command Button --- Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for all who replied for my previous email for above subject.
Following is the information I received.

1) Use Microhelp's VB Tools/OLE Tools
2) Use Sheridan's 3D Button(comes with VB)
  This is not that good.  You can not align text/graphics. They get
overlapped initially.  ONLY way to this problem is to INCREASE height
of button so that picture goes up and text comes down.  THIS LOOK BIG
BIG BUTTON compare to standard button size seen in many application.

Thanks once again.

When I feel stranded, I look to NET.

Re: (2) - true.  If you want small toolbar buttons, use the Sheridan
toolbar widgets with the designer widgets pack.  Once you learn the
toolset editor for creating the single bitmap (for all buttons), it's
very easy.  Not to mention the tons of extra functionality you get.

-OR-  Do NOT use the Caption property.  Instead, use your favorite bitmap
editor (paintbrush with Win95 is quite good) and make the letters a part
of the graphic.  I have done this with success in lots of cases.
