Cómo: Crear un control Button personalizado con una imagen

Actualización: noviembre 2007

Para crear un botón con una imagen, debe crear un control personalizado que se derive de la clase Control de formularios Windows Forms.

Para crear un botón con una imagen

  1. Cree una clase que se derive de la clase System.Windows.Forms.Control.

  2. Defina las propiedades de la clase para las imágenes de botones de modo que muestren el estado presionado y no presionado.

  3. Utilice el método Invalidate para hacer que el formulario se vuelva a dibujar cuando se haga clic en el botón.

  4. Reemplace el método OnPaint para dibujar el control personalizado con las imágenes adecuadas.

Ejemplo

Este ejemplo contiene una clase que define un control personalizado PictureButton. Crea una instancia del control en el formulario y define los mapas de bits utilizados por el control.
