Hi all, I am trying to make custom shaped buttons in Winapi, but can't figure out the correct method for this. I searched on the internet, but could not find a useful article on this. Any suggestions would be welcomed!

One simple way is to use static controls with bitmaps. Just be sure the notify style is specified so they will act like buttons.
A secondary method is to use a toolbar. This allows you to load custom bitmaps to the buttons while still retaining the mousover and tool-tip effects of standard buttons.
The final way would be to go "owner draw" but this is some serious coding that I would not turn to until the other two methods have proven unsatisfactory.
Thanks for the suggestions, I am working on this now, will post here if I encounter any further problems.
