Dynamically add text to an image Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on ASPFriends.com 'aspngclient' list. Greg Huber -- Moved from [aspngfreeforall] to [aspngclient] by GODD <Click here to reveal e-mail address> -- The web application I am creating gives the user the ability to change text on a button (we store the button text in a database). I was wondering if it is possible to have a background image for the buttons image source, and then overlay text on it. I don't necessarily want to dynamically create an image for every button (there are a lot of buttons and that would seem slow and disk intensive). I just want to add text on top of it. I don't mind doing it with DHTML if that's the only way, however I still need to programatically enable/disable buttons on the screen based on security permissions (so it must be a server control). Any article links or code samples would be appreciated. Thanks,     Greg Reply to this message...        FrogBody If you're okay using a DHTML layer, why not just output the layer - or not, based on your security settings?

Set it's background (mypanel.BackImageURL) to be your button image, put your text (using a label control) on top of that (inside the panel) and then manipulate the visible property of the panel (mypanel.Visible=True/False) based on your security settings.
