A CButtonST derived class that emulates Office/Windows XP buttons

Sample Image - CWinXPButtonST.jpg

Abstract

CWinXPButtonST is a CButtonST derived class that emulates the look'n'feel of the buttons (or menu items) found in Office XP and, maybe, in Windows XP. Button borders can have square or rounded corners.
This is just an example on how CButtonST can be used to create other button styles not supplied by default.

Functions

CWinXPButtonST has only one function.

SetRounded

This function enables or disables the rounded border for the button.

// Parameters:
//        [IN]    bRounded
//                If TRUE the button will have a rounded border.
//        [IN]    bRepaint
//                If TRUE the button will be repainted.
//
// Return value:
//        BTNST_OK
//               Function executed successfully.
//
DWORD SetRounded(BOOL bRounded, BOOL bRepaint = TRUE)

Remarks

CButtonST architecture makes possible to produce a whole range of buttons not available by default. If someone implements new button styles I will happy to include his code in the next CButtonST demo application.
