The button image is too far from the button; too close to the bottom of the button

Question

I am working on Windows Form in VB.NET 2005, and I would like to have a few buttons with images (I'm talking about a simple, vanilla System.Windows.Forms.Button). Everything is set up for me the way I want, but the images are displayed too low on the button, so the bottom of the icon is almost to the right at the bottom of the button, and there is a lot of space above the image.

Here is a screenshot:

See how the corner of the icon is cropped to the bottom of the button?

My button is 23 pixels high, and the image is a 16 x 16 icon (converted to a bitmap so that it can be assigned to the Image property).

I tried setting the Margin.All property to 0 and checking that the Padding.All property was 0. I also tried changing the ImageAlign button to TopLeft, MiddleLeft and BottomLeft, but none of these settings seem to have any effect.

Does anyone know how I can position the image at an equal distance from the top and bottom edges of the button? I can resize the button or image if necessary, but they are at my preferred size, and I would like to save them that way if possible.

Answer 1

We usually set the following properties (for example, for the image on the right):

ImageAlign: MiddleRight
TextAlign: MiddleLeft

Answer 3

Just a question: are you sure that the bitmap does not contain information at the top of the note image? This happened to me more than once when the crop looked right in Photoshop and crashed in live code ... :)

If so, your code might be perfect;)
