The Custom Button Library is a static library for use with IWBasic©. It consists of a custom WindowsTM control with supporting configuration functions. The Custom Button Designer uses the Library and provides a convenient visual means to designing a button and even creates the IWBasic code for that particular button.
The Designer allows the full use of the Library without the user having to know very much about the actual button functions.
