You can just position them next to each other.

Alternatively, you could make a UserControl that contained the two buttons, and always kept them aligned. The UserControl could then work like a single "button", and expose the events and properties you wish.

Ah, I see what you mean. Like two mechanical triggers covered by a single button face. Like many volume up and down controls in a TV remote: Just one plastic cover over two individual triggers (more and less volume).

It is not possible. If you want something like that, you may of course create your own button control based on UserControl or Control.

But maybe you want something simpler? Maybe you will settle for two individual buttons position next to each other with a flat style?? Try it out. Maybe it suits your needs.

Just do the following:

1. Create the user control with the two buttons.
2. Build the project (Ctrl+Shift+B)
3. Go to your form - At the top of the Toolbox, there will be a section with your UserControl, named something like "WindowsApplication1 Components"
4. Drag your user control onto the form

I'm not sure what you mean by "merge" in this case.

Do you mean to take the text from two buttons and put that text onto a third button?

Or do you mean something else?
