Introduction
3D Button API (Application Program Interface) is a SDK (Software Development Kit), developed by MultiMedia Soft, that will give you the possibility to create new look & feel buttons inside your applications and to change your existing user interfaces with few modifications to the code.
With this new three-dimensional button engine, programmers can give a new look to their windows, forms and dialog boxes, using a variety of shapes, surfaces, textures, bitmaps, animations, sounds, colors and fonts.
The strength of 3D Button API is that it doesn't require to redevelop your already existing user interfaces because, through a set of intuitive-named functions, it will transform the buttons already available inside your applications from the old-fashioned flat-square button into a real 3D button, no matter if they are Push buttons, Checkboxes or Radio buttons (also known as CommandButton, Checkbox or OptionButton if your development environment is Visual Basic).
