Usage of CRolloverButton

• In your resource editor, create a button (do not set the 'owner draw' property).
• Use classwizard to create a CButton object in your dialog.
• Include the "rolloverbutton.h" file in your dialog class file.
• Rename the CButton object type to CRolloverButton.
• Call the SetBitmaps function in order to assign your bitmap to the new button.

SetBitmaps

CRolloverButton::SetBitmaps(UINT nID, int nWidth, int nHeight, COLORREF crTransparentMask)

• nID - ID of a bitmap resource
• nWidth - Width of one image
• nHeight - Height of your image
• crTransparentMask - color displayed transparently (normally RGB(255, 255, 255) Magenta)

BOOL CButtonTestDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
  CDialog::OnInitDialog();
  m_btn_OK.SetBitmaps(IDB_BITMAP1, 18, 20, RGB(255, 0, 255));
  return TRUE;
}
