17 A button is a control that contains a text string, and is one of the most
18 common elements of a GUI.
19
20 It may be placed on a @ref wxDialog "dialog box" or on a @ref wxPanel panel,
21 or indeed on almost any other window.

8c6791e4 26 @style{wxBU_TOP}

8c6791e4 28 @style{wxBU_RIGHT}
a2117591 29 Right-justifies the bitmap label. Windows and GTK+ only.
8c6791e4 30 @style{wxBU_BOTTOM}
a2117591 31 Aligns the label to the bottom of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
8c6791e4 32 @style{wxBU_EXACTFIT}
a2117591
VZ
33 Creates the button as small as possible instead of making it of the
34 standard size (which is the default behaviour ).
35 @style{wxBU_NOTEXT}
36 Disables the display of the text label in the button even if it has one
37 or its id is one of the standard stock ids with an associated label:
38 without using this style a button which is only supposed to show a
39 bitmap but uses a standard id would display a label too.
8c6791e4 40 @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
6398a32d 41 Creates a button without border. This is currently implemented in MSW,
e5d05b90
VZ
42 GTK2 and OSX/Carbon ports but in the latter only applies to buttons
43 with bitmaps and using bitmap of one of the standard sizes only, namely
6398a32d
VZ
44 128*128, 48*48, 24*24 or 16*16. In all the other cases wxBORDER_NONE is
45 ignored under OSX.

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

8c6791e4 57 @event{EVT_BUTTON(id, func)}

62 Since version 2.9.1 wxButton supports showing both text and an image
63 (currently only when using wxMSW, wxGTK or wxOSX/Cocoa ports), see
2352862a
VZ
64 SetBitmap() and SetBitmapLabel(), SetBitmapDisabled() &c methods. In the
65 previous wxWidgets versions this functionality was only available in (the
66 now trivial) wxBitmapButton class which was only capable of showing an
67 image without text.
68
69 A button may have either a single image for all states or different images
e5d05b90
VZ
70 for the following states (different images are not currently supported
71 under OS X where the normal image is used for all states):
2352862a
VZ
72 @li @b normal: the default state
73 @li @b disabled: bitmap shown when the button is disabled.
74 @li @b pressed: bitmap shown when the button is pushed (e.g. while the user
75 keeps the mouse button pressed on it)
76 @li @b focus: bitmap shown when the button has keyboard focus (but is not
77 pressed as in this case the button is in the pressed state)
78 @li @b current: bitmap shown when the mouse is over the button (but it is
79 not pressed although it may have focus). Notice that if current bitmap
80 is not specified but the current platform UI uses hover images for the
81 buttons (such as Windows XP or GTK+), then the focus bitmap is used for
82 hover state as well. This makes it possible to set focus bitmap only to
83 get reasonably good behaviour on all platforms.
84
85 All of the bitmaps must be of the same size and the normal bitmap must be
ce39ca74
VZ
86 set first (to a valid bitmap), before setting any other ones. Also, if the
87 size of the bitmaps is changed later, you need to change the size of the
88 normal bitmap before setting any other bitmaps with the new size (and you
89 do need to reset all of them as their original values can be lost when the
90 normal bitmap size changes).
2352862a
VZ
91
92 The position of the image inside the button be configured using
93 SetBitmapPosition(). By default the image is on the left of the text.
94
b3f5fbf6
VZ
95 Please also notice that GTK+ uses a global setting called @c
96 gtk-button-images to determine if the images should be shown in the buttons
97 at all. If it is off (which is the case in e.g. Gnome 2.28 by default), no
98 images will be shown, consistently with the native behaviour.

23324ae1 117 The preferred way to create standard buttons is to use default value of
8024723d 118 @a label. If no label is supplied and @a id is one of standard IDs from
01495abf
VZ
119 @ref page_stockitems "this list", a standard label will be used. In
120 other words, if you use a predefined @c wxID_XXX constant, just omit
121 the label completely rather than specifying it. In particular, help
122 buttons (the ones with @a id of @c wxID_HELP) under Mac OS X can't
123 display any label at all and while wxButton will detect if the standard
124 "Help" label is used and ignore it, using any other label will prevent
125 the button from correctly appearing as a help button and so should be
126 avoided.
