Icons and Labels on Command Button at the same time

[tmort]

I'd like to have both text and an icon on a command button on a form.

I've tried to add a label to a button with an icon but the label is underneath and doesn't show through.

Is there some way of having both?

Thanks in advance and happy holidays

tmort,

A work-around might be to create your command button.
Create a label with your desired caption on it.
Place the label where you want on the command button.
Highlight the label; Format --> Bring To Front
Highlight the command button; Format --> Send To Rear

hth,
Wayne

tmort,

Well that didn't work real well. Every time you depress the
command button, it gains focus and covers up the label.

I did use an unbound text box, default value is desired caption
and did a set-focus to it in the event procedure for the command
button. This seems to work OK.

Good luck,
Wayne

Thanks,

I'm pretty new to VB so what is the syntax for the setfocus in an event procedure.

In my event procedure I will just be calling a macro.

Thanks again

Tom
