Update 27-May-2001. Use these Windows Blinds, Adobe, & Neoplanet style skinned rollover (hover) buttons to brighten up your GUI. Button control by J. Pearson (Aug 2000 PSC). Hint: Put bmp's in resource file and load them into buttons at run-time in Form_Load. TipofDay & DateTimeStamp forms shows how this is done.

very nice. Just curious how much "overhead" vs. using the boring command buttons. How is memory affected?

Tom Py,
The compiled control (OCX) is 100K. With just 2 images of less than 3K each in resource file you can load them into buttons at run-time.

Very nice Dana. I gave it a fin. One thing though, and maybe coders here will take up the challenge, is a skinnable button that responds as a normal button. That is, a button that depresses every time you click it when clicking in rapid succession. Image/Picture based buttons can't keep up. I've been unable to come up with a solution as of yet. If we can combine your technique with such a button we can be released from the bondage of vb buttons forever! Keep up the excellent work!

Finally was able to upload latest code. If you downloaded the older code consider updating. Faster button code and includes the new DateTimeStamp form (Vb6). Thanks for all the support and please vote.

Mouse_Enter, Mouse_Exit events are far more usefull than Mouse_Over. Also note Public InSound As Boolean which shuts off sounds globally.

Before I download this and waste space on my 75 GB hard drive, does this work with everything. Includingg the control panel?

To the above ïdiot, this file is only half a meg! Waste space on your 75 GB hard drive? I honestly think you have NO idea what you are doing.
And if you think that this skins the all buttons on your system, go use WindowBlinds. This is for making programs in VB.

Nice stuff man. However I've got a problem on my project with your ocx. Happens that I'm forced to use the right button of mouse to click. When I use left button, like that the event 'MouseOver' stay unterminated. So, it's necessary take mouse out over the button. The worst with this I can generate (that's the big problem) a lot of click events while with mouse is in focus on the button. What's going wrong? Is any patch to solve this bug?

Walter Borges. Put your code in the Mouse_Click event and make sure there is nothing in the Mouse_Over event.

Hey there, I know this comment comes at a very late time. But I just wanted to congratulate the author on such fine work... This problem had me stumped for a long time and I thought I had to use .NET and Flash to do this, but this truly is a great GUI solution for many old school VB people. Thank you for sharing the ideas. =)
