I would like to add a simple text button to my c++ win32 application. I’m creating the button using CreateWindowEx function, but can’t figure out the correct style to do so. I would like to display a text only button and be able to recive messages when the user clicks on it. The style i would like to get is identical to the text button in windows 7 system volume control (where it says “Mixer”). If possible i would like to display a tooltip also.

    You could create a “Button” class window with the BS_OWNERDRAW style and handle the WM_DRAWITEM messages. In your WM_DRAWITEM message handler you can simply display the text.
