Hello,
I would like to create a button with a text label as well as a small icon. I attached an example image. Anyone know how I would
go about doing this?
Thanks,
Tony

Tony,
I have had to do the same thing. Unfortunately you can't associate a icon within a button nor can the button text be anytinh other than centered within the button. I had to create 3 graphics objects seperately: the button with no text, the bitmap(icon), and the text.

Hi Tony, Larry,
Instead of using a button widget, you could use the image itself as an icon. If you assign a tag to it in the same way as you would a button, then a press can be detected. Text can either be written on top or part of the image.
There are a few other things you could add such as printing the icon twice and slightly offset to create a shadow/3D effect (you can change the COLOR_RGB or alpha for the rear one) or by drawing a shape behind. Or you could also make the icon shrink slightly when touched (the easiest way for this might be to have a normal and a slightly smaller version of the icon although EVE can also re-size images)
