Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] 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.
[Visual Basic] 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 'button2_Click [C#] 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); } [C++] 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); }
