Two questions about control

In windows application:
1. how to set a button, when I click it, it drops down and don't pop up, when I click it again it pops op?
2. how to set a mouse cursor to be a picture or a icon that I want, when it move over a control?

Bob Learned

1) If you want a checked button, then use a CheckBox instead of a button. It will stay down until checked again.

2) Set button cursor to an image:

this.button1.Cursor = new Cursor(@"c:\windows\cursors\pen_i.cur");

These are the settings that you need for a CheckBox button:

this.checkBox1.Appearance = System.Windows.Forms.Appearance.Button;
this.checkBox1.Checked = true;
this.checkBox1.CheckState = System.Windows.Forms.CheckState.Checked;
this.checkBox1.Image = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("checkBox1.Image")));
this.checkBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(172, 48);
this.checkBox1.Name = "checkBox1";
this.checkBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(64, 32);
this.checkBox1.TabIndex = 0;

I don't need a checkBox, I need a buttom been pushed

Bob Learned

Ed,

With these settings, you will get a control that looks just like a button, but it will stay pushed as long as Checked = true. When you don't want it to be pushed any more set Checked = false.
