Okay, let me get this straight. You don't set the property of the new and hidden button to .F., but perhaps hide it under some other control with a hot key set up that calls the button that has the image and that does the method's job? Sounds like a good idea.

>The idea is to have the button with the Caption corresponding to the picture. Move these buttons somewhere out of the form (so they will be invisible to the user). Then pressing the hotkey will do the work (as these buttons will call button with the picture click method),

>A bit convoluted way to achieve hotkey functionality.
