gray border around a regular wx.Button (Windows)

[Daniel_Hyams]

My google-fu has failed to find a solution to this one But surely it must a common problem, if indeed it is a problem.

Under Windows, how do you get rid of the one-pixel wide border around just a regular wx.Button? I’m trying to draw the button on top of a non-gray background, and it’s a bit unsightly.

You can see the same borders in the wx demo, under “Core Window Controls -> Button”. It’s hard to see because the buttons are on a white background, but there is a one-pixel gray border around all of them.

And sorry, forgot to post the wx version again. 2.9.4.0.

And a small image is attached to show the border being referred to.

The outermost 3 pixels of the button image are drawn by the native
button control. Its color will vary depending on your desktop
theme. If you need a custom look and feel, then you’ll need to draw
your own using a panel. See the BitmapButton and GenericButtons
samples in the big wx demo.
