Hi,

I want to have a button in Borland C++ builder 6, for which the background color can be changed. The default TButton available in bcb 6 is wrapper to the windows button & does not have the color property.
I went thro the net & found some code for this TButtonWithColor. But the shared code has the.pas & the .dcu files. I tried installing it as a new component in bcb, but the new component is not getting registered.
Can anyone help me out on how to install it & use the TButtonWithColor??

the code is available in the below link:
