Customising buttons on Windows Forms

[mcostello]

I need to use graphics as buttons on my app (similar to image buttons on web forms)
However if I use the Image property of the button control I am unable to make the graphic the only element seen(there is still a border etc)

I have 2 queries

1. Is there a way to use the button control in this way?

2. If not what control should I use - neither labels nor Picture boxes accept the focus from the TAB button which is essential.
Is there an "Imagebutton" control available for Windows Forms?

Thanks in advance

hi mcostello, i had the same questions you did not long ago, and i decided to do exactly what manicCW has said. This is not as easy as it may seem but after time and numerous posts for help on the vb.net forum i developed my own set of custom buttons which i use. So if you need some help, just ask.
