>>Thanks a lot guys for your input, but I couldn't resist the challenge and tried something right after I posted my message and here is what I did:
>>
>>I created 5 sets of spherical bitmaps in different colors that looked like they were in their 'out' position, then I used those images and 'pushed' them using a
>>graphics editor (Paint Shop Pro, highly recommended).
>>
>>After that I created a picture object on a form using the 'out' or 'unpushed' picture of the button. Then, on the mousedown event I assigned the 'pushed' picture to the object and last on the mouseup event I assigned the original 'unpushed' picture once again, giving it the effect of a tridimensional round object being pushed by the mouse. To add to that, I assigned a wave file sound to each mousedown event and a change of picture in another picture object on the form making it look like a multimedia type of effect using the tools that VFP provides.
>>
>>And you guys are right, it was neat and lot of fun.
>>
>>If requested I may be able to post the form or send it to whoever wants to see it.
