I typically use a draw widget that is made to look and act
like a button. That is to say, it is a compound widget with
a function event handler. I take the draw widget event into
the event handler, and repackage it as a button event, so
the end-user can treat it as a button and not a draw widget.

When the button is "selected", I either change the colors
I draw the button with, or I reverse the edge/shadow/normal
colors so that it has a "depressed" look to it.
