Author Design Problem!

A VB6 Form has around 30 buttons & the style of all are set to
Graphical but when the Form is run, I find that some of the buttons
look more depressed (or 'pushed-down') than the rest i.e. the thickness
of all the buttons aren't the same. This isn't giving a good look to
the application. What do I do to ensure that all the buttons have the
same thickness?

Please note that the width & height of all the buttons are exactly the
same (width=615 & height=495).

Thanks,

Arpan

Buttons in graphical mode always a problem.
Try resize the buttons, making the size slightly
larger could improve looks.

Thanks, Ted, for your response but isn't there any other workaround to
overcome this design problem other than the one you have suggested?

Thanks once again,

Regards,

Are the buttons touching? If so, their borders may be overlapping just
slightly. You can experiment with this by using the Bring to Front and Send
to Back commands on the Format | Order menu.
