Malcolm,

Try this link for an ActiveX button rendering control.

As an alternative, if you want to render these yourself you can use GDI+ although its probably easier to create a wrapper DLL/ActiveX than using VFP and declare dll. For example, to set antialised text rendering the following GDI+ API call will do the trick.

SetTextRenderingHint(TextRenderingHintAntiAlias);
