      "graphics" ? Please specify. VS has a Icon and Bitmap editor. Not all that great but without knowing specifically what you are trying to accomplish..... :doh:

          This is a very broad topic. The first part would be to get the graphics themselves. You can download them or create them using the VC bitmap editor or use a third party editor depending on your preferences. It is beyond the scope of these forums to discuss graphics creation. Your best bet will be to get the graphics in .bmp format. Then browse the button classes on this site there are a whole bunch that will display bitmap buttons and select one for your needs and follow the instructions there. As for reshaping the window, for Win2K or higher you could use layered windows and a transparent color key or you could use SetWindowRgn to set the window to a specific shape.
