Use the BS_OWNERDRAW style for the button (in the dialog
template if it's in a dialog, or as an argument to
CreateWindow(ex) if not).

Then be prepared to handle the following messages to paint
the button:

	BN_PAINT
	BN_HILITE
	BN_UNHILITE

Unfortunately, these messages are missing from Chapter 6 of
"Reference - Volume 1".  If I remember correctly, BN_PAINT
means perform an entire paint of the button, BN_HILITE is
sent while the button is being depressed, and BN_UNHILITE
after is has been released.  I think wParam contains the hdc
to paint into, but you should verify this (use the debugger
and set a breakpoint of the parent's windowproc to take a
look at the parameters).
