Style Property on Dynamic Buttons

[sifitz]

I am creating CommandButtons on the fly in my VB code and I am setting the properties when the code creates each button. I want to assign pictures to the buttons (which requires the Style to be set to Graphical (1): the default is Standard (0) ).

So I need to set the Style Property, however, it is read-only at runtime. Is there some way of changing this?

Here is the code I am using

Dim strIndex = 0
    Set cmdButton = Controls.Add("VB.Commandbutton", "cmdButton" + strIndex, picMain)
   
    With cmdButton
        '.Style = 1
        ' Brings up "Can't assign to read-only property
 
        .Left = intLeft
        .Top = intTop
        .Picture = picHidden.Picture
        .Height = intButtonDim
        .Width = intButtonDim
        .Tag = strIndex
        .Visible = True
    End With

Thanks

Just a simple cheat but if you make one control array for a non graphical command button and an control array for a graphical command button both with visible property set to false at design time you could add as many of each as you want at design time. Might help you out. Anything is possible, the problem is I only have one lifetime.
