XPButton: Office XP Style Button

The XPButton control mimics an Office XP/2002 style button. That means it determines the background-color dynamically between the standard-background-color and the selected-text-color.

There are many other advanced features:

• Standard-, hover- and pressed-picture
• Caption with selectable font and color
• Horizontal and vertical alignment for text and picture (can be different)
• Selectable background-color and hover-color (standard-hover-color and office XP-hover color is the color of selected text)
• Unique states such as pressed and not enabled
• Some minor properties to let the control fit your needs
• Keyboard-accelerator support

The control exposes all needed events such as Click, DblClick, MouseDown, MouseUp, MouseMove, MouseEnter, MouseLeave, ...

It runs on Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP. For use with Windows 95 there is a special compatibility-mode (because Windows 95 doesn't support mouse leave events).

All methods, properties & events are described inline. There is a dependency on vbAccelarator's subclass library, which must be registered using regsvr32.
