Okay. I think there is no other options rather than creating a owner draw button to server my purpose. So can you guys post here a win32 code for creating a simple windows style owner draw button which looks exactly as BS_PUSHBUTTON style.

Removing the border from button may not serve your purpose on all Windows OSs. Like in Windows 98/2000, buttons have different form, in Windows XP, it was changed, and in Vista it is further revamped. You should not confuse the end user. Your UI should be consistent as per the user's OS and settings.
And what you want to achieve by removing the border? You don't want border, place a 'static' control (which doesn't have border). Handle the click events. Yes, that's absurd! Depends on your perspective, if more absurd than your idea!
Perhaps you'll explain us what and why you are trying to accomplish with such a button "without a boarder"?
PS: I've just read the Ajay Vijay's post... And I totally agree with him! :thumb:
Okay let me explain my story. I'm creating a win xp exe. also can execute on other os but its particularly for xp. and im using blue background picture instead of default white or gray color of dialog box. so after creating the buttons on that blue background the light borders comes to view around the buttons. so i wanna remove them. hope now u guys dont have any confusions why im trying to do this..
Then you must use owner drawing. Use DrawFrameControl in your owner-draw code, to draw required control' parts in standard format.
No one is confused here. No one is dying here to help you. Consider your language next time.Quote:

Okay. Can you post a sample win32 code for creating an owner draw button looking exactly like normal BS_PUSHBUTTON.

Thanks for the link brother.
In my case, I am trying to create a synthesizer keyboard, and was planning on an array of buttons. However, the borders are not visually appealing in the context of a music keyboard.
I am open to suggestions, but what exactly is a "static" control?
Are they accessible from the Properties window?
Thanks,
Mike
After playing around a bit (I am very new to Visual C++ and Windows in general), I see that setting the borders and padding to zero work just fine *IF* you set the Flat Style to Flat instead of the default, Standard.
