I need to extend a picture button so that I can control where the text is placed in the button better.
I also want to make the button have a 'hover' image like a web button.
This has proven challenging, but I've made a sample user object below that can be dropped on a window and tested.
Is there a way to effectively control the Z order of controls on a form? I can't see any method except 'send to back' in the IDE.
Also, is there any documentation I can scan for implementing a mousedown event?
