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.

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.
