Need an images to act like a button

[ikkeugh]

I need an images to act like a button ,
In the button's properties , you have the option to set an downpicture , so
If you push the button , there appears an image .
BUT when you hold the mouse down and move the cursor away from the button , it returns to it's origional state .

And if you do it with an image and mousedown option , it stays in that state .

So , is there an solution for the images ?
So it would change back again .
Or could you change the style of the button so it wouldn't look like a button no more .and it would appear to be an image .

(PS. how do I change the exe style to WS_EX_STATICEDG E )

I've been playing around with what you said and this seemed to work just fine:

[CODE=vb]Private Sub Image1_MouseDow n(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
Image1.BackColo r = vbBlue
End Sub

Private Sub Image1_MouseMov e(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
If Button = 1 Then
If X < 0 Or X > Image1.Width Or Y < 0 Or Y > Image1.Height Then
Image1.BackColo r = vbWhite
Else
Image1.BackColo r = vbBlue
End If
Else
Image1.BackColo r = vbWhite
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Image1_MouseUp( ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
Image1.BackColo r = vbWhite
End Sub[/CODE]

No , I'm talking about something like this :

No , I'm talking about something like this :

use that code, but instead of changing the background color change the image in it.

instead of writing image1.backcolo r, use image1.picture

Well , I used a down picture for the button
(it's an option in properties , doesn't work for images )
Only in the button's properties

Create a couple of dummy images, set them visible=false. One will be called dummy1, the other will be dummy2. Dummy1 will have in it the up picture, Dummy2 will have the down picture.

Change:
image1.Backcolo r=vbBlue for image1.Picture = dummy2.Picture and,
image1.Backcolo r=vbWhite for image1.Picture= dummy1.Picture

That's an easy way to assign images.

Could you attach a file that works, because nothing works here ...

I see what you mean, I tried that code with images but they didn't change every time, only when they wanted to.

I'll check it out.

Here's one I've just created in VB6. It works, as far as I can tell.

Sorry, I was in a rush so there aren't a lot of comments, and I just grabbed two stock images that came with VB, so they don't look so good. But you can easily fix that.

Very good ! ,
but can you do it to with mouseover ?
not working here ...

Not sure what you mean. That code was designed to make the image act like a button, as requested. And it worked on my PC.

hi i have used the code that u have given but got an error as
i am using it in the activex control
"Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same error"
please help the solution as soon as possible
thanks

"Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same error"

Hm... I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that you probably used the code for a control which is part of an array, so the procedure declaration (the Sub statement) needs an Index parameter.
