When using only the Caption and Icon property, the best anyone could hope for was a button that looked something like this:

Set_Property(Ctrl, "OLE.Caption", "Cancel")  
Set_Property(Ctrl, "OLE.Icon", "BMPS\delete.png")

With the CaptionList and IconList properties, you can make a button that looks like this:

Set_Property(Ctrl, "OLE.CaptionList", "Cancel":@VM:@VM:"C6") 
Set_Property(Ctrl, "OLE.IconList", "BMPS\delete.png":@VM:@VM:"C-6")

...

The reason we created the CaptionList and IconList properties in the first place was to meet the need of a client that wanted to emulate the buttons of a keyboard. This required multiple captions or images with a variety of layout and style options. Here is a sample button that uses two caption to emulate the '5' button on a typical keyboard:

BigFont = "Arial":@SVM:16:@SVM:700 
LittleFont = "Arial":@SVM:10 
CaptionList = "" 
CaptionList<1> = "5":@VM:"C":@VM:"C":@VM:BigFont 
CaptionList<2> = "%":@VM:"L3":@VM:"T3":@VM:LittleFont 
Set_Property(Ctrl, "OLE.CaptionList", CaptionList)
