How do you make a .NET button look pressed? In VB 6 and earlier, I believe you had button down and button up properties. When the button was pressed there was a definite shadow look as to the effect. The current .NET button control (even using a radio button to appear as a button) does not allow for this effect. This is compounded if you were to place an image on the button face.

I've never really played around with it before, but it looks like if you set the button's FlatStyle property to Flat there are other properties available to set in the FlatAppearance property that might be what you are looking for. You might want to start by researching that.

Hope this helps.
