How to make a beveled button?

I have a program that makes rectagle buttons on the fly by drawing on a
bitmap canvas. How can I make those buttons have a beveled edge? I am using
Builder but i can read delphi code pretty well.

Thanks,

Marc

There are a variety of ways to accomplish this goal. Probably the two
easiest are: 1) Use the Frame3D routine in the Graphics unit, or 2)
use the DrawEdge routine in the Windows API.

Did you look at my_butt?
In that unit you can find source to make (semi-transparent) shadowy
edges to buttons. It's at my donwloadpage.
