Working with Buttons

Public Class Close
    Inherits Windows.Forms.Button

    Public Sub New()
        Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Point(25, 25)
        Me.FlatStyle = Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Flat
        Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.CloseNormal
        Me.BackgroundImageLayout = Windows.Forms.ImageLayout.Stretch
        Me.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Transparent
        Me.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Calibri", 10, Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))
        Me.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Black
        Me.FlatAppearance.BorderColor = Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue
        Me.FlatAppearance.MouseDownBackColor = Drawing.Color.Transparent
        Me.FlatAppearance.MouseOverBackColor = Drawing.Color.Transparent
        Me.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown
        Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.ClosePress
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.MouseEnter
        Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.CloseNormal
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.MouseHover
        Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.CloseHigh
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.MouseLeave
        Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.CloseNormal
    End Sub
End Class

I want to replace a button with another yet different button (eg. Maximise with RestoreDown). How can I do this?
The code above is for making a custom button.

What exactly do you mean by this?

I'm still not sure I understand, but I'll take a stab at it.

It appears you want to make a new button that will toggle the image from one to another everytime it is clicked. You don't really need a custom button. A boolean variable and a click event handler on a normal button will do the job.

Something like this:

    Dim Image1 As Bitmap = New Bitmap(My.Resources.Image1)
    Dim Image2 As Bitmap = New Bitmap(My.Resources.Image2)
    Dim Clicked As Boolean = False
    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Select Case Clicked
            Case True
                Button3.Image = Image1
            Case False
                Button3.Image = Image2
        End Select
        Clicked = Not Clicked
    End Sub
