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.
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
private void button2_Click(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Draws a flat button on button1.
ControlPaint.DrawButton(System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(
button1.get_Handle()), 0, 0, button1.get_Width(),
button1.get_Height(), ButtonState.Flat);
} //button2_Click
