Hi,
You can change graphic button selected effect by giving 'Selected Bitmap' value.
'Selected Bitmap' is property of Graphic button.

Durgesh,
Have you gone mad yet, or have you solved this?
One problem you may be encountering is that the application icons for
the built in applications are not held in the application database, but
in an overlay database.
I'd suggest writing a function that you pass the creator id, the

Durgesh,
It seems CtlSetGraphics accepts only Tbmp resources located in open
databases.
I don't know? Maybe you should create a temporary database to which you copy
the tAIB resources as Tbmp resources. Then you can simply use the id of such
Tbmp resource to pass to CtlSetGraphics.
