This button was created to be an enhanced replacement for Visual Basic's standard command button by adding 2 more Border appearance schemes, 2 more button styles, hover effects, 5 more caption styles, and state button compatibility. I cannot guarantee that this code is bug free although I have made every attempt to make it such. If you have any problems with this code please contact me and I'll do what I can to help you though the problem.

Release 1.1.0:

5 Caption Styles
State Button Capability (sort of like a checkbox)

Fixed

Bug in caption wrapping that would lose a character if a single "word" was longer than the caption width.

Improved

Slight speed increase from de-coupling the caption wrapping and drawing.

Release 1.1.1:

Fixed

Bug that would not re-process the caption for display if the caption was changed in code at run time, unless a refresh was done. (Bug introduced in Release 1.1.0)

Release 1.2.0:

Added Picture and Graphical Picture modes
Added Bevel Appearance Type
Added Bevel Width and Intensity properties (for customizing the bevel border)
Added UseClassicBorders property (to allow switching between blending and classic borders)
Added Option Button Compatibility and changed the structure of the State Button compatibility some

Improved

Borders have been revamped to allow blending with the gradient/picture on the button

Fixed

Fixed a minor issue with the ValueChanged event (event would not fire if changed via code)
Rewrote description text for properties / events / methods to be completely accurate

Release 1.2.1:

Fixed

ToolTips are finally fixed and working. (I thought this important enough for another release just for this one issue)
