XP-style buttons

[Nathan]

Hello,

I'm using XP-style toolbars and buttons in an application, and I'm wondering
whether it's possible to put pictures on buttons with XP styles. I have
buttons on one form with pictures assigned to them via the imagelist. The
picture showed up okay before I added the XP theme, but now after adding it
and setting the buttons' Flatstyle to "System" the pictures do not appear.

Any help would be appreciated.

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:
