Q: 

Compact Framework buttons image + label

Hi

I am working on a C# .net app for windows mobile. Problem is, I am a web developer, this is the first ever for me to write code for a desktop app, and to make things worse, I even have to work using the CF.

I have this problem: I need to use buttons (System.Windows.Forms.Button) but I don't know if I can use a nice picture for the button and put Text on it.

I would like to use a shaded picture, for multiple buttons but write on top of the picture (ex.: Save, Cancel)

Again: this is CF !

I can put picturebox ... with onclick event, but then how do i write over it?

Thanks

I did a blog entry many moons ago on creating iphone style buttons for .NET CF projects, it may be of use.. as I say though it was quite some time ago!

If you hadn't have told me, I'd never have known! Try again now, found them all in a moved folder...
