From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 28 May 2010 20:26 One colossal failure in the whole Windows system is the lack of any APIs to draw buttons, or other objects. I used to do this using DrawEdge, but Microsoft has decided to be "cute" and use buttons which have gradient fill and funny shapes, but have not supplied us any APIs to draw the core button object. This is a real pain, and shows that people at Microsoft have become more concerned with "looking cute" than with providing necessary functionality. A sad decline. joe On Mon, 24 May 2010 18:26:35 +0200, Hans-J.

From: Tom Serface on 29 May 2010 10:44 FWIW, this is really easy with WPF so at least they are trying to improve it. Problem is, there isn't a great native story for using WPF. Tom "Joseph M.
