How to Change an Active button's appearance

[Behseini]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to find a way to highlight the active button appearance on my winform.Here I have a simple Text Editor with a richTextBox and a btnBold button located at ToolStrip which can change the font Style to be bold or not.Now I want to change the appearance of the btnBold if already clicked and release it to normal when it clicked again then user will be notice that if the btnBold, btnUnderline, and btnItalic has been set or not?

I really appreciate your time about this

You can read this article on how to use ButtonState to adjust the appearance:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.buttonstate.aspx

Or, if you are using images for the buttons, you can have a second image that denotes the pressed status.

Thanks Steve,
However,as I mentioned already I am using the btnBold button located at ToolStrip as standard style of all text editors style.
using the method which you offered from the MSDN library as:

ControlPaint.DrawButton(System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(toolStripButton1.Handle), 0, 0, toolStripButton1.Width, toolStripButton1.Height,ButtonState.Pushed);

generates an error as:
Error 1 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripButton' does not contain a definition for 'Handle' and no extension method 'Handle' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripButton' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Can you please let me know how I can fix this?Is there any other method for example we can force the btnBold to keep Highlithed until next click?

Thanks

on click of btn bold make btn font style bold

private void btnbold_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (btnbold.Checked)
            {
                btnbold.Checked = false;
                btnbold.CheckState = CheckState.Unchecked;
                btnbold.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);
            }
            else {
                btnbold.Checked = true;
                btnbold.CheckState = CheckState.Checked;
                btnbold.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold);
            }
        }
