It sounds like to you want to take control over when the button is
drawn, presumably so you can change the image at various stages.
Perhaps you need to explain in more detail what you want to achieve.

If you are just looking to use the draw procedures for other purposes
(drawing your own buttons on panels etc) then I can provide more
detail for you about how this is done - I can even send you my
SpeedButton and BitBtn controls that uses these procedures.

Have you read the details in the online help - search the help index
for TMaskEnhString for details about masks.

Also; If you drop TEditEnh onto a form (the non-IBO-aware version)
then you can click on the EditMask property editor button to get a
dialog with example masks and the ability to define your own and test
them.

If you still have problems let me know and I will try to explain in
further detail.
