Office-style buttons

Hi,

I'm making an application which I want to have Office-style buttons on (actually, Visual Studio has the same kind of buttons). There is a drop shadow on hover, the buttons look flat and have a highlight box around them when you roll-over.

Can anyone tell me where to start with this? I've tried virtually everything I can think of but to no avail!

Cheers

Paul

Check the control galleries at various forums and developer sites, like the Code Project for example. Also, if you don't mind paying, Skybound Software at www.skybound.ca have a theming component called FreeStyle that can give you this effect and many others.

Have you looked at the <a href="http://www.windowsforms.net/ControlGallery/default.aspx?Category=21&tabindex=10">Control Gallery</a>? You can find some very good controls there, and some of them are free.
