| Is there any way of creating a button with an icon on it? I would like to have a "play" button (with a green triangle) that switch to a "pause" button (with two parallel bars) when pressed. Thanks |

| There may be a way with userlibs, but not as yet natively. I seem to remember in the worklogs (maybe) that Mark mentioned something like this for a future addition. |

| You can do it with canvases. Create a small canvas the size of the button and DrawImage the button on to it. I do this with all my graphical buttons and it works great! (I believe ProPixel2D also does this.) If you want the button to have proper system 3D colours, there is a GetSysColor or GetSystemColor API call. |

| When using canvas the size of the button, I can't press the button anymore, the overlapping area of canvas and button "hides" the button. Any trick for this? Thanks. |

| @LAB[au] I think they mean not using a button at all, just a canvas alone! like this .. mybutton=createcanvas(100,100,32,32,parent) ; eventcheck routine: if eventid()=$201 ;canvas mouse down if eventsource()=mybutton if eventdata()=1 ; left mouse button your blahblah here.. endif endif endif Ofcourse, doing a really 'clickable' 3d button is something different here. But having 3 versions of 1 icon, like in propixel, seems to work fine.. one greyscale (not used), one greyscale with the icon in color (mouse moving over it), and one in full color (selected). |
