He is probably thinking about windows taskbar, where this behaviour is
implemented thru a paticular style of a tab control (this style
unfortunately i not supported by PB wrappers of Micro$oft's tab control,
although I numerously requested it as an enhancement request).

This goes against the default way that a command button works so short
answer is you can't with the commandbutton control.

In order to do this you must roll your own command button as a userobject IE
two labels, offset from each other to give the effect of a commandbutton (
its all it really is anyway).
In the clicked of the top label check your instance boolean ib_raised

//Puesdo start not tested
If ib_raised Then
l_top.x = l_bottom.x + 5
l_top.y = l_bottom.y + 5
else
l_top.x = l_bottom.x - 5
l_top.y = l_bottom.y - 5
End if
ib_raised = Not ib_raised
//Puesdo end

you would then just trigger and event on the userobject that you would place
the code you need to happen.

Or better yet use one label on user object with this code in the clicked
event of the label. Just create the userevent ue_clicked for special
handling.

If ib_raised Then
this.borderstyle = StyleLowered!
else
this.borderstyle = StyleRaised!

End if
ib_raised = Not ib_raised

this.triggerevent('ue_clicked')
