Our company has been using Xtreme ToolkitPro v11.2.2 for 5 yrs to provide skin for our VC++ SDI application. We created bitmap buttons using the class CXTButton as follows:

/*********************************************************/
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_RECORD, m_btRecord);

// In ViewClass::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
m_btRecord.SetBitmap( CSize(10,10), IDB_RECORD );// IDB_RECORD is the bitmap resource
m_btRecord.SetBorderGap( 7 );
m_btRecord.SetXButtonStyle( m_btRecord.GetXButtonStyle() & ~BS_XT_SHOWFOCUS );
m_btRecord.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003);
/********************************************************/
Now we want to change the style of the button from flat to pushbutton style as follows:

Current CXTButton Button style required

It has to look like a normal cbutton with an image on it. We tried many methods but failed. Can anyone please please suggest a method to do this ?

Thanks..... Smile

Guess you need change m_btRecord.SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003); to WinXP style. check Buttons sample for list of themes.

The issue was solved. Thanks for the quick reply........... Smile

For those with similar issue, i have given my code below.....

/***RESOURCE.RC ***/

PUSHBUTTON "",IDC_RECORD,58,43,15,14 ,WS_GROUP

/*** VIEWCLASS.H ***/

CXTButton m_btRecord;

/*** VIEWCLASS.CPP ***/

/*** In ViewClass::::OnInitDialog( WPARAM, LPARAM ) ***/

m_btRecord.SetTheme(xtThemeDefault);
m_btRecord.SetXButtonStyle(BS_XT_WINXP_COMPAT);

/*** In ViewClass::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) ***/

m_btRecord.SetBitmap( CSize(10,10), IDB_RECORD_NORMAL );
m_btRecord.SetBorderGap( 6 );

Hope this would help someone who is new to VC++ like me.
