Ive just finished a project making a calculator, But the buttons look really cheap & tacky.
Is there any buttons that out there that will make my project look more professional than the original ones that come with the vb6 package.

Thanks guys if any of you have any solutions.

You could always use an image. Like, design the background of the button in Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, etc.

Other then that, I have no idea. Hope that helps.

I don't remember VB6, but I think there is something called 'custom controls'...
With this you can make your own button/text box/...

Thanks for the help guys, Im going to use an image like "ViOLATiON" sugested.
This should work well with the calculator.

You could also download some new active-x controls from the net if you want of make new ones by yourself.
