Many...many questions about visual basic...

Hi, i have a number of questions regarding things to do in visual basic. First of all, i want to know how to make a command button look flat and then raise when you put your mouse over it. For example (if you have IE), look at the top toolbar in your browser, the one with the back-forward-stop-home etc buttons on it. Notice how they are flat and then raise when you put your mouse on it. Another example is in Norton systemworks 2003, the buttons raise up and still show the watermark underneath it. Another question similar to the raised-lowered command button, is there a way of makin a button stay lowered or indented? Another question, ive tried putting icons or pictures on my command buttons and the caption of the button appears below the picture. How do i make the caption sit to the right of the icon? I had some other questions but have forgotten them.....they were the main ones anyway.

I don't think the standard command button in the VB toolbox has those features. You will either have to find an ActiveX control that has those features, or make one yourself.

easiest way to do the buttons is to create the images yourself and use javascript, onmouseover event to swap the image to one that is embossed or whatever.
