Hi,
I want to use CommandLinks (see WindowsAPICodePack for more information). But using these is more or less difficult on Os lower than Vista. Is there an alternative e.g. UltraButtons to this Control?
Regards,
Michael
I'm not familiar with CommandLinks, but I did a search on Google and found this:

Is that the kind of thing you are referring to? If so, it seems to me that you should be able to achieve something at least very close to this using UltraButton.
Yes, you're right. Could you please be so kind to point me into the right direction? To make it a little more complicated I must say that I will be using styles in the program.
I'm not sure what kind of direction you are looking for.
I don't think any of the built-in styles will give your buttons the same look as the screen shot on the site I linked to. But you could make the buttons transparent simply by setting the button.Appearance.BackColor. Or you could make them white or use SystemColors.Window, which is probably what these other buttons are using.
The borders might be a bit tricky. You can set the border color on the Appearance, also. But if you want slightly thicker borders or you want to match this look exactly, you might have to use a background image for the button and maybe use the background image stretch margins to avoid stretching the borders.
