I prefer command button too. But getting a picture on it and making it fit
nicely is not something I want to do. As I said in the beginning, being able
to stretch the image is the main reason I go this route.

I can't tell you how many applications I've discarded because the interfaces
were so awful that it was too hard to figure out how they worked.

Unfortunately, some of them are so bad, yet so widely deployed, that people
manage to make money giving classes in how to use them. QuickBooks comes to
mind. Even for an experienced user it's a mess to navigate.

On mousedown event borderstyle = 0
on mouseup event borderstyle = 1

Duke,
Thanks. Simple and very effective. Personally I like the visual better than
the lame button click.
FYI, I use
img.BorderStyle = img.BorderStyle Xor 0
on both up and down event, for the most deiscerning eye.
