This is not a button with active borders but a real flat button, without 3D appearance at all as you can see in the picture. Also, it doesn't have anything to do with the old Flat Button that you can find in the Visual Basic 5 section. If you are looking for a button with active borders or a normal one, check the AR Button Control.
