image button vb.net 2003

[andy.vandierendonck]

Hello,

I have a question about the command button in vb.net 2003.

I was wondering if there's really no possible way to draw an image
(icon) on
a system command button. I know it's very easy if you use a standard
flatstyle button but the problem is that it doesn't support the
windows xp
visual style.

After many searching on the net I wasn't be able to find the answer I
was
looking for ...
I found many solutions from people who made they're own button control
but
when the windows theme is set to the windows classic style it still
show's
an xp style button.

I've tried to draw a picturebox above the command button but it's
backcolor
can't be set to transparent and the main issue is that you can click
on the
picture box.


Any help would be very appreciated ...

Many thanks in advance
Andy
