Firstly - a fantastic control that works very well! I was wondering if you could create a couple of extra features:
1. Expose the Corner Radius as a user managed parameter - this will allow the buttons to be tiled nicely when creating something like say a numeric keypad.
2. Allow user to explicitly set the color of the outer border

| back color transparency

hi,
i used your control in an vc++ appliction in a dialog class. i created an instance of the control like this
CWinFormsControl<Glass::GlassButton> m_button1;
i then assciated the control to a static text control like this.
DDX_ManagedControl(pDX, IDC_GLASS_BUTTON, m_button1);
i have set the backcolor of the glassbutton to transparent.
the problem here is that when i set the brush color of the dialog on WM_CTLCOLOR evernt,
the background color of the button does not change to the color of the brush but instead draws the default dialog color in the area under the button.
MJ.

Did you try also manually draw background in WM_ERASEBKGND message?
E.g.:
BOOL MyDlg::OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
CBrush myBrush(RGB(255, 255, 255)); CBrush *pOld = pDC->SelectObject(&myBrush);
BOOL bRes = pDC->PatBlt(0, 0, rect.Width(), rect.Height(), PATCOPY);
pDC->SelectObject(pOld); return bRes; }

| Using a GlassButton as the appearance for a RadioButton
Meestor_X | 11:59 28 Nov '08 |

Excellent work!
However, I have a project with a number of RadioButtons that have the appearance of Buttons.
This is accomplished in the RadioButton Properties or by the following code:
Me.RadioButton1.Appearance = System.Windows.Forms.Appearance.Button
As opposed to:
Me.RadioButton1.Appearance = System.Windows.Forms.Appearance.Normal
Is there any way I can somehow add the glassbutton style so a RadioButton can look like a GlassButton?
Thanks very much for any and all help!
-Andy.

Thank you 
Create a copy of the GlassButton.cs/vb file, then change all occurences of "Button" into "RadioButton" and add the following lines_imageButton.Checked = Checked;
_imageButton.CheckAlign = CheckAlign;
to the DrawForegroundFromButton method before the_imageButton.ImageAlign = ImageAlign; line.
Regards,
Łukasz

Thanks a lot for your great work.However, I have the similar request as this thread.
I added the following code:
_imageButton.Checked = Checked;
_imageButton.CheckAlign = CheckAlign;
and did all the modification as you guided, but I see the button is not acting as Radio button.
It is not being toggled as when GlassRadioButton.appearance=Button
Could you please compare the behavior of RadioButton appearance and GlassRadioButton appearance when their appearance is set to Button?
Could you please convert this project t a cool Radio Button that can be toggled?
Thanks again for this cool hard work.
Have a nice time.

 | Image Animation

I found this control really wonderful. Thanks for that. I wanted to ask if there is a way to Fade in and out Images on roll over and away events.
Lets say if I want the image in the 'BackgroundImage' property to be faded into 'Image' property when the mouse enters (animation starts) and revert back to the background image when the mouse leaves.
May be this may cause the control to be a bit slow, but this is an effect I have been looking for quite a time.
If you can help in this regard, I will be very grateful.
thank you.

Unfortunately it's not that easy. My code draws only animated background. Foreground (text and image) is not drawn directly by my code. I have private Button _imageButton field, and invoke its paint method (but not directly) to draw specified foreground. Implementing animated foreground would require to make serious changes to the code, which wouldn't be easy.
Regards,
Łukasz

Hello,
can I use your control in a freeware library?
The library contains controls who makes a vista style.

Hello,
I repeat a post which is somewhere below:
"Basically, anyone can use my dll file or the source code. I forbid only including it in some controls/components packs and similar libraries."
So, you can if it will be only for your applications. But you cannot if you are planning to release it for everyone, sorry.

OK, then I only link to this page and include the code directly in my program

I have a question.
I develop a library for time to play media files(images, music and videos).
There is a graphiches interface, for which I also took advantage of your library.
In this library are still other controls included (Vista List View, TreeView, Status List, etc.), but the acces is only "internal class".
At the end there will be a DLL file.
Is that okay?
(I hope you understand me)

Yes, it's OK. You can use glass button in that way.

| DrawToBitmap
Jacob Shepherd | 21:41 20 Apr '08 |

This is a great control! You suggested in a previous thread to use the button's DrawToBitmap method to save the button as an image. Do you know how to keep a transparent background when doing the save? I'd like to end up with a semi-transparent png of the entire button, without the background. Using your CreateBackgroundFrame method gets me close, but doesn't include the foreground (text, image, etc).
I have tried overriding the OnPaintBackground, but it didn't seem to do the trick.
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Transparent, this.Bounds);
}
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I use this code and it works:GlassButton gb = new GlassButton();
gb.Size = new Size(75, 23);
gb.Text = "Text";
Image img = new Bitmap(bg.Width, bg.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(img))
{
g.Clear(Color.Transparent);
gb.DrawButtonBackgroundFromBuffer(g);
gb.DrawForegroundFromButton(new PaintEventArgs(g, gb.ClienrRectangle));
}
img.Save("file.png");
