J, I did try your tiny sample and it didn't provide the desired effect, as demonstrated in this expanded tiny sample...


break on

$f = createobject("KiXtart.Form")

$a = $f.ToolButton("Left",$f.ClientWidth/2-40,$f.ClientHeight/2-10,80,20)
$a.Icon = 60
$a.Alignment = 1

$b = $f.ToolButton("LeftAligned",$f.ClientWidth/2-40,$f.ClientHeight/2+10,80,20)
$b.Icon = 60
$b.Alignment = 1

$f.Show

while $f.visible
    $ = execute($f.DoEvents)
loop
