C #: removing spacing around the edges inside a button

Question

Situation: I need a tiny button with text on it.

Problem. It seems like the button seems like displaying an empty space near its edges is more important than displaying my text.

I can’t understand for life how to remove this empty material around the edges. Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Assuming you are talking about WinForms, you can set a FlatStylebutton for the property System.

This will allow you to resize the button so that it is small enough so that the text can be accurate without any internal additions.
