Details - Properties

BackColor

BackColor is used just like any other control's BackColor property: it specifies the control's background color.

BorderStyle

The BorderStyle property is another example of passing values directly to other objects. Changing UserControl.BorderStyle also modifies the appearance of the control.

ButtonMode

The ButtonMode property cannot be directly passed to another object's property because no other object has a ButtonMode property. ButtonMode specifies how the control will work. If it's set to Text Only Mode (0), the control uses a "text only" display and changes its background color to indicate a selected or unselected state. If it's set to Image Mode (1), images (specified by the Picture and SelPicture properties) will be used instead.

Font

This property is used to change the font of the text to be displayed on the control.

ForeColor

ForeColor property works similarly to the BackColor property. This property can be used to change the forecolor of the control.

Picture

The Picture property is used to specify the image that should be displayed if the control is in a nonselected state. This image is also used as the default image; that is, the image that will be showing when the control is initially displayed.

SelColor

The SelColor property is used to specify which color the control's background will be changed to in order to indicate a selected state for the control. This property is really meaningless unless the control is in Text Only Mode (ButtonMode = 0).

SelPicture

The SelPicture property specifies the image that will be used to indicate a selected state for the control when it is in image mode (ButtonMode = 1).

Details - Methods

Refresh

The Refresh method redraws the control whenever requested.

Flash

This method lets the developer "flash" the control a specified number of times. Flash method could be used to draw attention to the control.
