can lineargradientb rush be used to paint a button

is it possible to use a lineargradientb ursh to paint a gradient onto a
button control, but have the button keep all its functionality, and
visual functions, so that it still looks like a "depressed" button
when clicked on ?
thanks for any help

The short answer is yes but I assume you're talking about handling the paint
event and then drawing after the original button paint cycle is finished.
This is ok but an ugly solution.

Rather than derive from the button control which has an underlying Win32
partner, it would probably be best to derive directly from Control and then
all the aspects of drawing are under your control.

In order to do that I need to redirect painting of the controls to a memory DC (which is then sent to the layered window). All this asuming that I figured out...
