Hi, Bryan.
How about making a class like this?
- Subclass the image class (or your own base class).
- In it's Init, attach it a command button with the same position and size (maybe a pixel or two smaller), and zOrder(0) it to hide it behind the image.
- Add code to the image's mouse over event and sync it with the got/lostfocus of the command button.
In theory (I haven't wrote this), you have a graphical button with all of the command button's features.
Hope this helps. Tell me if you actually implement it!
