    Hey guys.
    After discovering that Maxon changed the bitmap button definitions starting with R13. I'm having trouble getting the BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER flags to work.
    None of them are changing the way the button looks like they're supposed to.

    I've tried this in both C++ and Python and get the same results.
    I can make either an animated button that always has a flat (borderless)  profile.
    Or
    I can make a raised button profile. But the button does not animate.

    What I want is a raised button profile that also animates when clicked.
    The BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER flag BORDER_OUT is supposed to do that. But it isn't working for me.
    In fact. None of the border flags are working for me.

      
//This code creates a Bitmap button with a raised profile  
//But it does not animate when clicked  
  
  bc = c4d.BaseContainer()  
  self.GroupBegin(0, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT|c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0, "Push Button",0)   
  self.GroupBorder(c4d.BORDER_BLACK)          
  bc.SetLong(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BORDER, c4d.BORDER_OUT)          #Sets the border of the button to be raised like a typical button  
  bc.SetBool(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, True)                    #<----Button does not animate when clicked  
  self.MY_BITMAP_BUTTON2 = self.AddCustomGui(MY_BITMAP_BUTTON2, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "Bitmap Button", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT|c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 130, 30, bc)  
  
  
//This code is supposed to create a Bitmap button with a raised profile..But the profile is always flat  
//But it does animate when clicked  
  
  bc = c4d.BaseContainer()  
  self.GroupBegin(0, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT|c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0, "Push Button",0)   
  self.GroupBorder(c4d.BORDER_BLACK)          
  bc.SetLong(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER, c4d.BORDER_OUT)       #<----Does not work?  
  bc.SetBool(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, True)                    #Makes the button animate(sink) when clicked  
  self.MY_BITMAP_BUTTON2 = self.AddCustomGui(MY_BITMAP_BUTTON2, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON, "Bitmap Button", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT|c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 130, 30, bc)

    Everything was working fine for me in R12. And I could create a raised button that animates when clicked
    But the new changes are giving me problems.
    What Am I doing wrong?

    I haven't tried this but reading the R14 SDK seems to imply that if you set BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER, as you do in your second example, you should set BITMAPBUTTON_BORDER as well (the SDK says this is used for the pressed button state when BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER is set).

    Might be worth a try.

    Hi Steve,

    I tried that but it doesn't work for me.

        bc.SetBool(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON, True)               //Makes a button animate  when clicked  
  bc.SetLong(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_BORDER, c4d.BORDER_OUT)     //Makes a raised button profile..but animation is broken!!  
  bc.SetLong(c4d.BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER, c4d.BORDER_OUT)  //<--This does nothing and None of the flags work!!?

    I've tried every permutation of this I can think of.
    And in every case. BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER and the flags associated with it doesn't work.
    I'm stumped.Confused

    *Bump.

    I hate to bump things. But using animated bitmap buttons with a raised profile is something I used a lot in R12. So I really need an answer to this for R13&14.
    All the other border options work fine for me EXCEPT the BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER option.
    Could someone please post how to use the BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER option?

    BITMAPBUTTON_BORDER;  
BITMAPBUTTON_BUTTON;  
BITMAPBUTTON_TOGGLE;  
BITMAPBUTTON_DRAWPOPUPBUTTON;  
BITMAPBUTTON_TOOLTIP;  
BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID1;  
BITMAPBUTTON_ICONID2;  
BITMAPBUTTON_SPECIAL;  
BITMAPBUTTON_NOBORDERDRAW;  
BITMAPBUTTON_OUTBORDER; <--------------This is the only one that doesn't work as expected for me!  
BITMAPBUTTON_BACKCOLOR;

    Hi Scott,
     
    I'm currently playing around with bitmap things and the bitmap button was one of them. I tried the OUTBORDER flag but haven't noticed any change to the border either.
