  • If only one image is specified, it will be used for all the button’s states
  • If fewer than six images are specified, nothing is drawn for the states without images
  • Omit “file” to use the last file specified ( “states.dll:0|:1|:2|:3|:4|:5” )

Remarks

Within Aero theme (WinOS >= Vista), a defaulted (focused) button fades between images 5 and 6.  Each succesifull call to this function creates new ImageList.  If you are calling this function more times for single button control, freeing previous ImageList is your responsibility.
