Microsoft Windows version 3.0 adds three-dimensional (3-D) support for pushbuttons, but all other controls appear two-dimensional (2-D) by default. There is a file in the Microsoft Software Library that describes how an application can add 3-D effects to all controls by using the CTL3D dynamic-link library (CTL3D.DLL).
