Images on XP style command buttons

I.m developing applications using VB.NET and have a number of command buttons that have images on them. When The application is run with the classic windows style look the images appear just fine but when I switch the application to the Windows XP look the images dissappear from the buttons and all I have is an XP style button with text on it. Is there a way to use XP style buttons and still have images displayed on them?

That's not supported directly by the .NET button control. Nevertheless,
somebody implemented a button which shows in XP style and can display an
image:

But, if I don't use the XP style the images show on my buttons correctly. Can someone please explain to me what the problem is and how to get around it? Here is how I'm calling...

An Access 2000 question Hi is is possible to have (as a subform) a continous form with 0..n buttons which have different images in each row. (Personally I would have preferred a button array and assign images in code, much easier with a class module - but unfortunately Access does not support control arrays).

I have several images i want to display in an ASP.Net application. The images are being passed to me in binary format from another application. Is there a good way to write them directly to an HMTL page without having to save them to the server and create a URL to the virtual directory? FYI: I currently am doing this with just single images. I do a Response.BinaryWrite(byte) to display the one image. The advantage is that I never...

Why does SVG need a different tag than other images? IMHO, SVG should be implemented as an image type just like any other image type, allowing it to work with <img> tags, and ... here is the important part ... also work with backgrounds in other tags. I fail to see any wisdom in making SVG different than say PNG (of course the implementation of the rendering code would obvious be different). --

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
