visited icons

[Stephen Messimer]

Hi

I am working with icons in OSX.  I have created a series of graphics 
that I store in the stack and I use them to represent the enabled 
disabled and hilited states of buttons.

In OSX when I set the hilite icon of a button to a specified icon the 
button shows the appropriate appearance and everything looks great.

When I change the appearance to windows the icon changes appropriately 
but then a black rectangle appears bounding the button. This rectangle 
remains even if the hilite icon is removed from the button ( ie the 
button's icon is changed to its enabled appearance ). The rectangle can 
be removed by clicking on another disabled button.

Is there a way I can prevent this from happening in windows or is this 
the way  things are supposed to operate?  It really interferes with the 
effect I am trying to get.

If this is a feature of Windows is there a way to get rid of the 
rectangle when I change the icon from hilited back to enabled? The 
rectangle is really not a problem unless it remains after I change the 
buttons icon back to its enabled appearance.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Steve
