Introduction

This control (HoverGradientButton) is very easy to use; graphic and chromatic interface results have a great impact. The original idea is from a good article by Victor Boba (thanks Victor!). HoverGradientButton has a lot of properties, but default properties let the programmer to have a full ready-to-use interface with Office 2003 style. The component supports three different styles: HoverNormal, HoverCheck andHoverOption, that make the HoverGradientButton work respectively as normal Button, CheckBox, and RadioButton. The core component HoverGradientButton is shipped with a versatile container (HoverButtonBand) with an additional AutoArrange property.

Furthermore, the library contains GradientPanelXP, a specialized component, inherited from Panel, with some additional features such as Gradient.
