Button control has five states - Normal, Flat, Inactive, Pushed, and All. ButtonState enumeration represents a button state.
Windows Forms does not have a straight-forward way to set a button control state.
However, there is a way do to this J.
Windows Forms has a ControlPaint class with some static methods that can be used to draw various controls at runtime. The DrawButton method is used to draw a Button control and the last parameter of this method is ButtonState enumeration.
The following code snippet sets the button state of button1 using ControlPaint class.
ControlPaint.DrawButton(System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(button1.Handle),
0, 0, button1.Width, button1.Height, ButtonState.Pushed);
Here is the VB.NET code:
ControlPaint.DrawButton(System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(button1.Handle),
0, 0, button1.Width, button1.Height, ButtonState.Pushed)
