SftButton/OCX gives your applications drop-down buttons, toggle buttons, images, animations, and full color control, in a fast, self-contained ActiveX control for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

Built for today's Windows
Version 4.0 follows the system's choices, so your buttons do too.
Turn it on explicitly, or set it to Automatic and the control follows the Windows app theme, switching live. A DarkModeChange event lets your application restyle the surrounding UI to match.
Honors the Windows high-contrast setting out of the box, following Microsoft's accessibility guidance.
A DPI property and DPIChanged event track the monitor, and images scale automatically, so buttons stay crisp between a 4K display and a standard one.
A UI Automation provider makes every button visible to Narrator, NVDA, JAWS and automation tools, with no code changes.
