XP-style Button Control

• Download demo project - 16.4 KB

Introduction

Here is an XP-style Button. It works on all windows OSs: 95/98/Me/NT/W2K/XP. No subclassing, etc. is needed to use this control - it's just a plain simple button control. This code is a modified form of the OCX code I recently saw on codeguru. The button code was for an ActiveX control. I created this CButton derived class with latest Microsoft's sponsored CCP technology (Cut-Copy-Paste).

How to Use It?

• In your resource editor, create a button and set the 'owner draw' property.
• Use classwizard to create a CButton object in your dialog.
• Include the "xpbutton.h" file in your dialog class file.
• Rename the CButton object type to CXPButton.
• Compile and enjoy.
