- I think you should be able to format the label itself in such as way as to simulate what you'd see in the button, e.g. a background color and border, maybe even a raised appearance. Try it and see. It may be the only way to implement the functionality you need.
Hi George, I am not wanting to cover the button. It's just a small label towards to bottom of the button. I can not add the text to the button since I want it to be smaller font. Let me know what else you need.

- interesting. I did manage to mirror the button's color to the label and made the button transparent. Pretty crafty. The issue was that the button is next to anothre button and the button is now essentially the label and has sharp corners and the button that is below it has rounded corners so the formatting doesnt look real good when next to the other button. Its not that important. I thought there was an easier way to do this. thank you.
