Hello plug-in group I have been thinking of this for a while but I am not a
plug-in developer (something about not knowing C++)

Would it be possible for a developer on this list to create a generic button
plug-in? let me explain

some body could create a plug-in that users would only need to replace PICT
resources to create buttons say enabled, disabled, and pressed with masks
perhaps a picture that would be 2 high (image and mask) by 3 pictures
(enabled, disabled, pressed) then add properties for value and enabled

 maybe even a image property that you could use as a adder ie. 1 = PICT
resource 1000 2 = PICT resource 10001 etc...

I have created a pict/button canvas but I think it would be 100 time better
for me to create a plug in with 10+ of my favorite buttons then I could use
them any time I wanted instead of tracking down the canvas/button class,
images, setup the properties in RB code etc...
