I need to understand more clearly what you want to do. From my understanding, all you need is a custom look button with a picture element in it with a size declared as being dynamic if the button's size changes when the window is resized. If that does not answer your particular problem, pleaes give more information and I'll tell you if it is, indeed, supported or not :).
From my understanding, he wants to change the image of an ImageElement in a ButtonControl's custom look in runtime.

I highly doubt that GDI/GDI+ will help you here. In Log Manager and the upcoming Countdown Live 2, I use GDI/GDI+ to make a HBITMAP from a GIF/PNG/... file and pass that to a Win32 API which handles the drawing itself.

When you want to use GDI/GDI+ to draw the button yourself, you'd have to register the owner-draw notification and do the drawing on the parent window yourself. As far as I know, this is a very difficult way to do it and I don't think Plus! even supports it. And in my opinion, there shouldn't be any reason why Plus! should support it.

I think matty also used it in one of his scripts (Screenshot Sender 4?).
Nope, I stole his code to initialize and quit GDI+ and based my stuff on his. He's the one who does magic with GDI and GDI+. :)


My suggestion: Patchou should give us some control over the CustomLook elements of buttons / radio buttons / check box buttons. The image resizing should then be handled the way it's handled when the window is generated from the interface XML.
