Default Need Graphic For Button

Group,

I am looking for a source for a graphic to use on a button. I would like to
find a small red checkmark that I can put on a small button. Does anyone
know of a source where I can find one? I am willing to pay for it if there
isn't a free one available.

Thanks so much,
BobV

Bob,
A neat trick I've used for years is to use text.
In the button caption...
hold the Alt key and type 0052 on the num pad
Change the font for the button to Dixieland.
This will give you a checkmark on your button. Use
the font size to adjust, and color to suit.

Windows has an applet called CharMap, which shows all the
characters in all your fonts, and their hex (Alt XXXX) codes.
Dixieland, Wedings, Wingdings 1/2/3 have
all the graphics you might need.

Bob,
Actually, I use a freeware app called MyCharMap. I like
that better than the Windows CharMap.
