SUMMARY

BTTNCUR.EXE is a file in the Microsoft Software Library that contains information about using buttons and cursors in the Microsoft Windows graphical environment. BTTNCUR.ZIP contains the source code to a dynamic-link library (DLL) that contains 15 new standard cursors and 9 standard command images to use as buttons on an application's toolbar. Other code in the DLL draws a button using one of these images (or another image provided by an application) in one of six different states. With this code, an application can provide only one image for a button and dynamically create other states at run time. This dramatically reduces the storage required for an application to provide a button-rich graphical interface.
