Introduction

Now you can use Davide Calabro's excellent CButtonSt class in your ATL/WTL projects. The Class is still called CButtonSt and it retains a majority of the original code. Just follow these simple instructions:

1. Create a WTL Project
2. Design the dialog and add the button controls
3. Add the ButtonST.h header file to your project
4. Assign a CButtonSt to each button.
5. In OnInitDialog,
   • Subclass each member controls (CButtonST) to each ID using the SubclassWindow method.
   • uses the CButtonSt methods to change the appearance of the control.
6. In your dialog, don't forget to add the macro REFLECT_NOTIFICATIONS which allows the buttons to get messages like WM_DRAWITEM.
