Canvas Propery on custom button

[Wings]

Hi,
I want to make a Component based on a TButton Component;
however, I need to be able to change the buttons color.
Inorder to do this I believe that I have to access the Canvas property of the Button. The problem is TButton does not have a Canvas Property, How do I either access it or is there another way to control the color??

Help is appreciated,

Thanks

I think you have to wrap the Canvas VCL with your own. I say this because I'm looking at a three part article from September - November 2001 C++ Builder Developer's Journal by Reisdorph Publishing. See their web site at

for how to subscribe. A bit pricey but well worth every penny, IMHO. The subscription will allow you access to their older articles. James P. Cottingham
