How to set a button's state to pressed state?

[edgar]

How do you set a button's state to a pressed state. This is similar to the
BOLD button in ms word, if a word is bold, the state of the bold icon is
pressed.

I already found one solution using a toolbar control but i'm looking for a
solution that doesn't use the toolbar.

Thanks in advance.

Edgar,

That is not something standard.

What I would do to fulfil your problem is setting the state of the button in
its "tag" property. And set based on that the flatstyle to system.standard
or system.flat.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Place a checkbox on the form and set its 'Appearance' property to 'Button'.
