This is fairly simple to do in wpf (.net) where you can set a control template to be just about anything. You may actually find some or all of these kinds of buttons out of the box as well. If you google for how to change a button's control template in wpf, you should get plenty of answers. -Manish -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Florian Beijers Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2011 8:45 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: .net or java, creating buttons shaped differently then usual Hi, I am working on a little side project which requires me to create a cross-shaped, square-shaped, rectangle-shaped, heart-shaped and diamond-shaped button. Is this doable using code in either java or .net languages? I wouldn't know how except maybe to set an image as the button's shape but I don't know if this can be done. Anyone experience with things like this ?
