The following concerns OS/2 v1.2. The OS/2 programmer's reference states that user-defined button controls can be created, but the owner window is responsible for rendering the button in its appropriate state. I find this to be inconvenient. Do future upgrades to OS/2 plan to enhance button controls/buttonPanes to make it easier to create custom buttons? For instance: 1.) The ability to change foreColor/backColor of a buttonPane. 2.) The ability to substitute bitMaps for button labels. 3.) The ability to scale text Fonts for button labels. The above functionality would be nice to have. Can any IBM'ers out there share some insights as to what might happen in this area?
