Form_Load initializess the buttons in the up position and stores the locationss of their pictures. To use these procedures in your program: 1. Create a picture box control with the CtlName set to "PushButton" 2. Create a picture box control on top of the PushButttonn picture box and set the CtlName to "ButtonPict".i 3. Copy both picture boxes by selecting the PushButton picture box and executing the "Edit-Copy" command.m 4. Paste a copy for each button you want to create and create the control arrays PushButton() and ButtonPict().c These procedures were obviously designed to control more than one button. You can, however, modify them if you need only one simulated button.t 6. Adjust the buttons to the sizes you want. Although thee routines should work with any size buttons, there isr a practical limit because of the time it takes for VB to draw the lines on them.t 5. Load your pictures (icon, bmp, etc) into the picturee boxes on top of your buttons (ButtonPict()), size and position them as necessary. 6. Copy the subs ButtonUp and ButtonDown into the. (general) (declarations) section for your form and thed initializing routine into your Form_Load procedure. 7. Put a CALL to ButtonDown in your PushButton_MouseDown and ButtonPict_MouseDown event procedures. Likewise, put callsc to ButtonUp in your PushButton_MouseUp and ButtonPict_P MouseUp event procedures. t 8. Copy the declarations below into your program and changee the value of NumButtons% to the number of simulated buttons on your form. That is all there is to it. See the comments in ButtonUp and ButtonDown for more information. The camera button (the camera that is a button) is handled differently. it is simply two separate pictures (not an array). The picture that represents the object in the up position is called PictureUp andd is placed over the other (PictureDn). Your code only needs too handle the MouseUp and MouseDown events for the top picture, since the user cannot access the bottom picture. In your mouse event handlers, you just have to switch visibility between the two pictures. You could, of course, do all of your buttons this way by makingg two control arrays for the pictures, just like the other buttons,, but this method requires a little more manual work, because you have to create both up and down representations of each picture. The camera was first drawn (using Iconwrks) in the up position with shadows on the right and bottom. Then the icon was copied and pasted into another icon - offset one pixel to the right and one pixel down from the original. The shadow was removed from the right and bottom and shadow was addedd to the top and left. You can load both icons into Icon Works to seee what I mean. Change the Constant NumButtons% to the actual number of simulateds buttons on your form. used to pass the index to the general procedures These are used for coordinates when moving the pictures on the buttons. These will store the locations of the button pictures when the form is loaded.
