----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-1359827009_-_- Content-type: text/plain Folks, I have bitten the bullet and started to implement ToggleButtons from scratch using Ctls as a guide. I have created the up and down images of a ToggleButton by first doing a screenshot of the standard Controls.PushButton. I copied the screenshot into the Windows Paint program and trimmed all unnecessary stuff away. When I magnify the image (Ctrl PageDown) I can then see the lines and colors that make up the images. I then wrote the equivalent DrawRect and DrawLine procedures to mimic the button images. I had hoped to avoid that step but don't see how. I now need to handle the mouse and button label but that should be straight forward. So I consider this issue closed unless someone can still come up with a more elegant way to do this.
