Pictures as buttons

[Drstein99]

I want to make a picture a button, simular to the nice round ones on the media player - with shadows, and a depressed button look when you click the button.

How do I go about doing this? I messed around with the image background properties on the common commandbutton control and it looks like windows 3.11 (ugly)

You have to draw the control like that yourself. Preferably using GDI+ in hte Paint event of the object inherited from a Control Object or any other control.
Or, which may be easier, look for already made controls like that.

That sounds very interesting. Unfortunately, I do not posess the skill able to understand what you have explained. Is there a resource and/or documentation somewhere I can see examples of how to do this?
