Set button style

[marcomars]

Can you suggest me a way to change dynamically the button style from bitmap to text and viceversa? I tried with m_BUTT_25.SetButtonStyle(BS_TEXT); m_BUTT_25.RedrawWindow(); and m_BUTT_25.SetButtonStyle(BS_BITMAP); m_BUTT_25.RedrawWindow(); but nothing seems to happen... :( I can instead change the button caption with SetWindowText: why is this? :confused: Thanks :), Marco.

Not all styles can be changed at runtime, this might very well be an example. A common method is to destroy and recreate the button. marcomars wrote: I can instead change the button caption with SetWindowText: why is this? Because the text is not a style.

Maybe you have to "detach" your object (text, icon, bmp) from the button first? "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimmy Hendrix

How about creating two buttons, one with text and the other with a bitmap? Disable/enable them accordingly. marcomars wrote: I can instead change the button caption with SetWindowText: why is this? Because that's the way it is supposed to work. Per MSDN: The SetWindowText function changes the text of the specified window's title bar (if it has one). If the specified window is a control (e.g., button), the text of the control is changed.
