PictureButton
PictureButtons are identical to CommandButtons in their
functionality. The only difference is that you can specify a picture
to display on the button. The picture can be a bitmap (BMP) file, a
GIF or animated GIF file, a JPEG file, a PNG file, a run-length
encoded (RLE) file, or an Aldus-style Windows metafile (WMF).
You can choose to display one picture if the button is enabled
and a different picture if the button is disabled.
Use these controls when you want to be able to represent the
purpose of a button by using a picture instead of text.
