    Do NOT conflit refrence and value! In MSDN --> void GetClientRect( LPRECT lpRect ) const; So use m_SearchBtn->GetClientRect(**&the_rect); HRGN region_handle = CreateEllipticRgnIndirect(&**the_rect); ....

        If I enable OWNERDRAW, button is not been visible. Otherwise it displays in a default rectangle shape.

          For more information see one of stuff on this site such as: http://www.codeproject.com/buttonctrl/cxskinbutton.asp[^] I think you must use SelectClipRgn(...) after SetWindowRgn(...) BeB

                After Setting Owner Draw Style, You have to use [CButton::DrawItem]to draw button. Or take a look at button wrapper classes here at CP [Link] http://www.codeproject.com/buttonctrl/[^]

                  I don't want to owner draw the button. I just need to change the shape of it. Any other solution?
