Greetings

I have a usual button and I use the icon to skin it. I want to use the buttons label to show the text (while the icon is only background).
The problem: Whenever I turn on the "Show Name" property the icon resizes (about half of it's size).

So the question is: How to use the label correctly along with icon "background" to have the right size ?

Thanks very much in advance

Hi Michael,
As far i knowI believe there is no way to do that with btn only.
I use a group when i need a control with icon and label, one grc por image for background, one field for text and one transparent btn.

Trying now with groups. But also with groups the mouseOver of the button is not working where the label covers the button.

Hi Mike,

not sure I understand you problem, but it sounds like you should play
with the "icongravity" property of your button.

Thanks Klaus. That solved the problem. One last question: Is there a way to add this "propertiy" to the button by default ? I played with "custom" but not sure if this is the right place.

Thanks again
Michael
