How do you put both an image an text into a button. It seems
Compound Image that shows up in google isn't supported either as a
class or option in ruby tk. Using 1 click installer of latest stable
1.8 release.
Thanks

'compound' option is supported by Tcl/Tk8.4 or later.
The version of Tcl/Tk libraries on one-click installer is 8.3.
So, you have to install Tcl/Tk8.4 or 8.5 and replace tcltklib.dll
which uses the libraries of Tcl/Tk8.4 or 8.5.
Or, pack an image label and a text label on the button,
and define event callbacks for both of the labels (e.g. change
option values of the labels and send the event to the button).
