While we're on topic, how can I create a bitmap for an owner-draw button,
which looks like an normal Windows button, but is empty? The problem here
is to get the 3D effect right. I suspect this is driver dependant.

Well, I might create an empty normal button of the same size and BitBlt its
bitmap to a memory DC, but there must be an easier way.

I guess everyone must have had this problem!?!
