    @class wxButton

    A button is a control that contains a text string, and is one of the most
    common elements of a GUI.

    It may be placed on a @ref wxDialog "dialog box" or on a @ref wxPanel panel,
    or indeed on almost any other window.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxBU_LEFT}
        Left-justifies the label. Windows and GTK+ only.
    @style{wxBU_TOP}
        Aligns the label to the top of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
    @style{wxBU_RIGHT}
        Right-justifies the bitmap label. Windows and GTK+ only.
    @style{wxBU_BOTTOM}
        Aligns the label to the bottom of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
    @style{wxBU_EXACTFIT}
        Creates the button as small as possible instead of making it of the
        standard size (which is the default behaviour ).
    @style{wxBU_NOTEXT}
        Disables the display of the text label in the button even if it has one
        or its id is one of the standard stock ids with an associated label:
        without using this style a button which is only supposed to show a
        bitmap but uses a standard id would display a label too.
    @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
        Creates a button without border. This is currently implemented in MSW,
        GTK2 and OSX/Carbon ports but in the latter only applies to buttons
        with bitmaps and using bitmap of one of the standard sizes only, namely
        128*128, 48*48, 24*24 or 16*16. In all the other cases wxBORDER_NONE is
        ignored under OSX.
    @endStyleTable

    By default, i.e. if none of the alignment styles are specified, the label
    is centered both horizontally and vertically. If the button has both a
    label and a bitmap, the alignment styles above specify the location of the
    rectangle combining both the label and the bitmap and the bitmap position
    set with wxButton::SetBitmapPosition() defines the relative position of the
    bitmap with respect to the label (however currently non-default alignment
    combinations are not implemented on all platforms).

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_BUTTON(id, func)}
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED event, when the button is clicked.
    @endEventTable


    Since version 2.9.1 wxButton supports showing both text and an image
    (currently only when using wxMSW, wxGTK or wxOSX/Cocoa ports), see
    SetBitmap() and SetBitmapLabel(), SetBitmapDisabled() &c methods. In the
    previous wxWidgets versions this functionality was only available in (the
    now trivial) wxBitmapButton class which was only capable of showing an
    image without text.

    A button may have either a single image for all states or different images
    for the following states (different images are not currently supported
    under OS X where the normal image is used for all states):
    @li @b normal: the default state
    @li @b disabled: bitmap shown when the button is disabled.
    @li @b pressed: bitmap shown when the button is pushed (e.g. while the user
        keeps the mouse button pressed on it)
    @li @b focus: bitmap shown when the button has keyboard focus (but is not
        pressed as in this case the button is in the pressed state)
    @li @b current: bitmap shown when the mouse is over the button (but it is
        not pressed although it may have focus). Notice that if current bitmap
        is not specified but the current platform UI uses hover images for the
        buttons (such as Windows XP or GTK+), then the focus bitmap is used for
        hover state as well. This makes it possible to set focus bitmap only to
        get reasonably good behaviour on all platforms.

    All of the bitmaps must be of the same size and the normal bitmap must be
    set first (to a valid bitmap), before setting any other ones.

    The position of the image inside the button be configured using
    SetBitmapPosition(). By default the image is on the left of the text.

    Please also notice that GTK+ uses a global setting called @c
    gtk-button-images to determine if the images should be shown in the buttons
    at all. If it is off (which is the case in e.g. Gnome 2.28 by default), no
    images will be shown, consistently with the native behaviour.

        @ref page_stockitems "this list", a standard label will be used.

        In addition to that, the button will be decorated with stock icons under GTK+ 2.
