    Custom Buttons

    Hi All,
    I have 3 images stored which are to imitate a button. One for Normal,
    one for Depressed and another for Highlighted.

    The 'Normal' button is placed on the form.
    The Mousedown event changes the button to 'Depressed'
    The MouseUp event changes the button to 'Normal'

    How can I change the button to 'Highlighted when the mouse is over the
    image? I could use the mouseOver event to change this but when I move the
    mouse from being over the image, it is still highlighted!!!


    Could anyone offer me any ideas on how to achieve this?


    TIA

    Mark

      Just a hunch but have you tried undoing the highlighting in the form's
      background mouse-over event?

                  Interesting comment Keith. I'm embarrassed to admit that I missed
                  this somehow. When you say, "undoing the highlighting in the form's
                  background mouse-over event", do you mean there is a global setting we
                  can make via VBA code? If so, please let me know what it is -- or
                  just elaborate a bit on how your suggestion can be implemented.

                  Thanks for sharing,

                      Lauren,

                      I used the forms MouseMove event to set the image's source to normal.
                      This works perfectly on a small form where I am only trying to change the
                      one image. I have tried it on a larger form where I have several buttons I
                      am trying to change back to default but I have noticed something of a
                      flicker on the screen!!!

                      Hope this helps,

                      Mark
