How can I make the image size smaller on a button?

C#.NetWinforms

C# Problem Overview


I have a button and I want image (.ico file) and text to exist on it. My problem is that I want button's height to be small, but I can't manage to "shrink" the image as much as I want to. The result is to have a piece of image visible on the button and not the hole image. At the image property the image size is fixed (48x48) and the option is grey so I can't change it. How can I make this image to be 16x16?

If you are using DevExpress Simple Button, you should set BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom and set backcolor of button to Transparent (from Appereance->Backcolor)

Solution 6 - C#

ImageList imageList = new ImageList();
imageList.ImageSize = new Size(30, 30); // specify size you want
