For button, you can use CBitmapButton[^], and for the banner, you can use CStatic[^], where you can put there a bitmap, like banner ... of course, you can find here a derived CButton controls ...

Well, then you only must setup a style for your application (setup manifest file) and you'll have a current system style on your button and CStatic. If I well understand ...

[VCProgrammer]

yes how can use setup style?

Very simple: add manifest file in your project resource folder, and then open Resource.h:

#if _MSC_VER <= 1200
#ifndef IDR_MANIFEST
#define IDR_MANIFEST 1
#endif
#ifndef RT_MANIFEST
#define RT_MANIFEST 24
#endif
#endif // _MSC_VER <= 1200

if you don't have a manifest file, I could send you through email ... Check here[^] too.

Take a look at this section on MSDN[^].

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
