Anyone else try this? It's not in the layout manager as a widget or control, unless I missed it. No ones used it in the examples or the bazaar. I found one use in the ide, thank goodness.

Its a simple command button that behaves like an Option box, except its a command button. It doesn't take text, you have to set an image programmatically, or I guess you could chain it on the ITEM line in the .lay file.

It's very nifty. The only way I could get it into the layout was by editing the text of the layout instead of the GUI editor, though I probably could have used the User Class option? Doh!

But the text is very easy to edit.

For anyone newer than me:

LAYOUT(MainLayout, 304, 120)
ITEM(ButtonOption, playOrPause, LeftPosZ(48, 40).TopPosZ(4, 15))
END_LAYOUT

Then in a constructor you zap an image on it.

playOrPause = MyImages::play();

Will peek back in textprop.cpp to see how to capture the click event.
