IMO, hungarian notation is not necessary as long as you give your variables
sensible names, but if you insist then btn, bbtn and sbtn come to mind.
Surely though, a button is a button, the type shouldn't have any impact on
the code that calls it, unless you want to know whether you can change the
bitmap or not?

I use sName for resourcestrings and kName for consts (sometimes), otherwise
there is nothing wrong with your capitalized suggestion.
