Hi All
Here is a little ditty called Button Beast ( Test Version)

Its a bit like the Button Express application i made ages ago, but this one is all rolled up into a Usercontrol.

Features

Right Click ContextMenu
Add Images to Button ( a Large and small image can be loaded ) But only the small Image can be moved.
Add Text ( Movable )
A Few Buttons Built in ( The Proper version will have lots of Buttons, by way of Registering and downloading a Button Pack that when added to the Program Dir will unlock a lot more features cooll; )
Change Font/Size/Colors
Hide Images
Hide Text
Save Button



As you can see by the Images above ( these are buttons saved from Within Button Beast ) that .Png are the Best type to use as they have transparent backgrounds and you have a lot of control with .Png over other Image Types.

The Images you see on the buttons are Images added within the Program, and they too are .Png Images.

The UserControl is below as a Attachment ( this is just a test run of the Control, I will be developing this further )
Just right click your toolbox in VB and choose addItems and then add the Usercontrol, then drag out from the toolbox onto your Form, Debug and Viola!!

**Future Plans for this Include Resize Button/Zoom In/Zoom Out, plus a few other helpfull commands**

Just a Update on this app, I have been trying different things out and I am getting there cooll;

**Hidden Toolstrip MenuItem appears when Button Pack/s are added to the App Directory, giving you accesss to the Button Pack which will appear in a Panel when you click the now visible MenuItem.

Zoom in and out within the Panel Bounds



Rotate the Picture 90/180/270 Degrees



This is just a Mockup till i get it all working right, then i will redesign the whole app and make it look Cool
