Images on XP style command buttons

[Martin Keeton]

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:
