Custom Control resizing

[_Ian_]

Thanks for the interest Tim - any chance you could save down to V8.5 please?

Not sure what you've done yet, but I've just been wondering whether a picture ring would give me much more flexibility here. Its getting late over on this side of the pond so I'll have another look at this tomorrow.

Cheers

Here is an 8.5 version

Nice!

I ended up going down the route of a picture ring so that I could easily change the appearance for True/False states. In playing with this, I decided to generate an extra image for 'disabled and grayed' so that I could visually indicate when the button was not available as well as whether it was pressed or not.

After getting a little confused, I discovered that even though my boolean controls were transparent, setting them to 'disabled and grayed' applied the graying effect to the image beneath them.

To be honest, I don't think this should be the expected behaviour, but I was pretty pleased to discover it as it makes graying out a transparent control a useful thing to do.

Yes I just thought I could come up with something that could be sized automatically when the program was started. It seemed to work ok. I think there would be a few more things that I would do to finish this thought but I proved that I could do it if I had to. I suspect that you could have a reference to the button that you wnat to resize things to and a reference to the other two pictures behind it to make it easier to implimnet for multiple buttons. Just having a little fun anyway.
