The benefit of how it's implemented in my code below is that it behaves just like a normal button, so it may look different but shouldn't break your code.
No flags are supported as none of the PB flags works with the command link button, there may be other Win API flags that work but I didn't check.
Have fun folks!
Code: Select all
;This only works with Vista or later.
;XP skin (or Vista skin if you will) support must also be enabled in compiler options.
