AresButtonPro is an ActiveX Control which allows you to include flexible, powerful interactive buttons in Visual Studio applications and web content. Specific features include:

• Support for default, mouse-over, clicked and disabled images in JPEG, GIF (animated) , TIFF or BMP formats, from a local file or retrieved from the web via HTTP
• Button image effects, such as Desaturate, Add, Lighten, Darken and Smooth, Blending can be applied either selectively to a single image or to all images; even "pushed-in" and "popped-out" effects
• Images can be linked into executables as resources, eliminating the need to store and/or distribute them separately on the disk
• Images can be stretched or tiled to fill the button surface, or the button can be auto-sized to accommodate the image.
• Dynamic text labels, in any font, size and color, with configurable transparency and shadow.
• Tooltip animation and effects, including as fade in/out, background color or gradient

AresButtonPro is ideally suited to applications and web documents where high-performance graphical interaction is desired.
We welcome your input on how we can improve AresButtonPro to make it more useful to the professional development community.
