Hi Bob,

This could be achieved using a timer and two containers. The container will be the substitute for the button and will have its SpecialEffect set to 0. Use a smaller interval for the timer. Something like 150 will do it. If you try controlling the SpecialEffect property setting from the timer it dosn't work. (Don't ask me why < g > ) What is required is that you have one container with SpecialEffect set to 0 and another with SpecialEffect set to 1. The KeyPress() event would make the sunken container visible and the timer would make the Raised container visible.

The new problem would be getting the click of the button. Simply calling the same Keypress() event with the right parameters will again give the effect of a button.
