In depth
With RainbowButton you can specify a back color, fore color, mask color, highlight color, shadow color, picture, and font for each button. Your buttons can have a standard 3D border, or display a border only when the mouse cursor is over them. RainbowButton lets you place the picture at the top, bottom, left, right, or center of the button's face. You can fill a button's background with a solid color, a gradient fill, or a tiled picture.
Buttons can have a number of predefined shapes, or you can assign a shape that you create using the Windows region APIs. You can also create two-state buttons work like a check box, allowing a true or false value to be associated with the button. You also have the option of turning off the default or focus rectangle for the button.
RainbowButton has a custom draw interface that allows you to manually draw the background, borders, picture, or caption. You can customize just one of the button's visual aspects and let RainbowButton do the rest.
