Setting the Initial Condition of a Speed Button

Speed buttons use their appearance to give the user clues as to their state and purpose. Because they have no caption, it's important that you use the right visual cues to assist users. 

The table below lists some actions you can set to change a speed button's appearance:  

Setting speed buttons' appearance  

To make a speed button: 
Set the toolbar's: 
Appear pressed  
GroupIndex property to a value other than zero and its Down property to True.  
Appear disabled  
Enabled property to False.  
Have a left margin  
Indent property to a value greater than 0.  

If your application has a default drawing tool, ensure that its button on the toolbar is pressed when the application starts. To do so, set its GroupIndex property to a value other than zero and its Down property to True.
