Hi,

I'd like to create a button (derived from a Windows Forms Button or a SimpleButton) that has the style of the Skin's GalleryButton or LargeButton. I know how to create buttons, but I haven't yet found a way to utilize the Skin's painters to do the actual painting. I only need to draw the background (normal, pressed etc.), not the text or any images on it.

Can you provide me with some lines of code giving me a hint to do that?
Thanks very much in advance.

Stefan

Don't know why the name of my boss appears here. Maybe because he has ordered the product.

Hi Stefan,

I have attached an example project illustrating usage of the SkinElementPainter in a custom control.
Please let us know if this makes sense.

Thanks,
Michael.
