Sorry, the question is incomplete. How can i be sure that my program( program or an activex component)doesn't have any memory leaks and how can i prove it to somebody else. Thanx in advance.

I think you'll have to re-create the combo - you can't change these styles at runtime. Save the control ID and position, then call DestroyWindow and Create with appropriate styles. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

hi michael, thank u for u r response I tried to debug in VC++ IDE, but the control is not coming into the code.Yes, it's failed on some combinations like WinNT 4 + Excel 97/2K. It's displaying the control content(which some image), but it's not responding to the events on it like mouse clicks even the messageboxes that i placed in OnDraw() & control's constructor are not prompted. As i think Excel is not recognizing it as a control, but why it's so i don't know if u can plz help. lastly is there any diff between containment behavior of word and Excel, because the same control is working in all Word Versions. Thanx :rose: in advance hoping that u will respond.

Here you go. You have to declare some CBitmapButton objects for each button in your main class header file that you are using this buttons. Then add the usually message handlers. Load your bitmap picture in your resource bitmap and use a string name "Name" to label your bitmap that you want over your button. Then that should be the same name as the caption on your button. Make sure you have owner draw button checked. Add a OnInitDlg member function and call your CBitmapButton objects with autoload. Compile and run and you should have your bitmap buttons.
