Gradient Button v1.2.1

This button was created to be an enhanced replacement for Visual Basic's standard command button by adding 2 more Border appearance schemes, 2 more button styles, hover effects, 5 more caption styles, and state button compatibility. I cannot guarantee that this code is bug free although I have made every attempt to make it such. If you have any problems with this code please contact me and I'll do what I can to help you though the problem.

Release 1.1.0:

+ New

- 5 Caption Styles

- State Button Capability (sort of like a checkbox)

+ Fixed

- Bug in caption wrapping that would lose a character if a single "word" was longer than the caption width.

+ Improved

- Slight speed increase from de-coupling the caption wrapping and drawing.

Release 1.1.1:

+ Fixed

- Bug that would not re-process the caption for display if the caption was changed in code at run time, unless a refresh was done. (Bug introduced in Release 1.1.0)

Release 1.2.0:

+ New

- Added Picture and Graphical Picture modes

- Added Bevel Appearance Type

- Added Bevel Width and Intensity properties (for customizing the bevel border)

- Added UseClassicBorders property (to allow switching between blending and classic borders)

- Added Option Button Compatibility and changed the structure of the State Button compatibility some

+ Improved

- Borders have been revamped to allow blending with the gradient/picture on the button

+ Fixed

- Fixed a minor issue with the ValueChanged event (event would not fire if changed via code)

- Rewrote description text for properties / events / methods to be completely accurate

Release 1.2.1:

+ Fixed

- ToolTips are finally fixed and working. (I thought this important enough for another release just for this one issue)
