I guess it's a bit late now, but anyway...

BCM_SETIMAGELIST does work, but the problem is that there seems to be no way
to explicitly turn off the button border. However, I discovered that if you
use BUTTON_IMAGELIST_ALIGN_CENTER and make the button exactly the same size
as the image, then the button border is no longer visible. On Vista/Win7,
you get image transition effects thrown in for free, which is pretty nice.

In your PlayerToolbar.h file, replace all occurrences of CBitmapButton with
CButton. Then, in your InitialiseControls() function, change your loop like
this:

for( int n = 0; n < nElements; n ++ )
{
    pBtn = pButtons[n];
    pLst = pILs[n];
    nImgID = btnImgIDs[n];
    nCtrlID = ctrlIDs[n];

    pLst->CreateFromImage( nImgID, 25, 1, CLR_NONE, IMAGE_BITMAP,
LR_CREATEDIBSECTION );
    *pBtn = GetDlgItem(nCtrlID);
    RECT rect = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
    BUTTON_IMAGELIST bil = { pLst->m_hImageList, rect,
BUTTON_IMAGELIST_ALIGN_CENTER };
    pBtn->SetImageList(&bil);
    pBtn->SetWindowPos(0, 0, 0, 25, 25, SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOMOVE);
}

Finally, modify your image-list bitmaps so that they contain four images:
normal, hot, pressed, disabled. It seems that you must include a "disabled"
image for it to work - I have no idea why.

Cheers,
