Examples

In this example, you use the ButtonState enumeration as a parameter to the method DrawButton to specify the state of button1. To run the example, create two buttons, button1 and button2. Then replace the button2_Click method with the example code. Click button2 to redraw button1 and change its state to Flat.

void button2_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
   
   // Draws a flat button on button1.
   ControlPaint::DrawButton( System::Drawing::Graphics::FromHwnd( button1->Handle ), 0, 0, button1->Width, button1->Height, ButtonState::Flat );
}

private void Button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Draws a flat button on button1.
    ControlPaint.DrawButton(
        System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(_button1.Handle), 0, 0,
        _button1.Width, _button1.Height,
        ButtonState.Flat);
}

Private Sub button2_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
    ' Draws a flat button on button1.
    ControlPaint.DrawButton(System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(button1.Handle), 0, 0, button1.Width, button1.Height, ButtonState.Flat)
End Sub
