13 A button is a control that contains a text string, and is one of the most
14 common elements of a GUI.
15
16 It may be placed on a @ref wxDialog "dialog box" or on a @ref wxPanel panel,
17 or indeed on almost any other window.

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

27 Since version 2.9.1 wxButton supports showing both text and an image
28 (currently only when using wxMSW, wxGTK or wxOSX/Cocoa ports), see
2352862a
VZ
29 SetBitmap() and SetBitmapLabel(), SetBitmapDisabled() &c methods. In the
30 previous wxWidgets versions this functionality was only available in (the
31 now trivial) wxBitmapButton class which was only capable of showing an
32 image without text.
33
34 A button may have either a single image for all states or different images
e5d05b90
VZ
35 for the following states (different images are not currently supported
36 under OS X where the normal image is used for all states):
2352862a
VZ
37 @li @b normal: the default state
38 @li @b disabled: bitmap shown when the button is disabled.
39 @li @b pressed: bitmap shown when the button is pushed (e.g. while the user
40 keeps the mouse button pressed on it)
41 @li @b focus: bitmap shown when the button has keyboard focus (but is not
42 pressed as in this case the button is in the pressed state)
43 @li @b current: bitmap shown when the mouse is over the button (but it is
44 not pressed although it may have focus). Notice that if current bitmap
45 is not specified but the current platform UI uses hover images for the
46 buttons (such as Windows XP or GTK+), then the focus bitmap is used for
47 hover state as well. This makes it possible to set focus bitmap only to
48 get reasonably good behaviour on all platforms.
49
50 All of the bitmaps must be of the same size and the normal bitmap must be
ce39ca74
VZ
51 set first (to a valid bitmap), before setting any other ones. Also, if the
52 size of the bitmaps is changed later, you need to change the size of the
53 normal bitmap before setting any other bitmaps with the new size (and you
54 do need to reset all of them as their original values can be lost when the
55 normal bitmap size changes).
2352862a
VZ
56
57 The position of the image inside the button be configured using
58 SetBitmapPosition(). By default the image is on the left of the text.

60 Please also notice that GTK+ uses a global setting called @c gtk-button-images
61 to determine if the images should be shown in the buttons

VZ
62 at all. If it is off (which is the case in e.g. Gnome 2.28 by default), no
63 images will be shown, consistently with the native behaviour.

65 @beginStyleTable
66 @style{wxBU_LEFT}
67 Left-justifies the label. Windows and GTK+ only.
68 @style{wxBU_TOP}
69 Aligns the label to the top of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
70 @style{wxBU_RIGHT}
71 Right-justifies the bitmap label. Windows and GTK+ only.
72 @style{wxBU_BOTTOM}
73 Aligns the label to the bottom of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
74 @style{wxBU_EXACTFIT}
75 Creates the button as small as possible instead of making it of the
76 standard size (which is the default behaviour ).
77 @style{wxBU_NOTEXT}
78 Disables the display of the text label in the button even if it has one
79 or its id is one of the standard stock ids with an associated label:
80 without using this style a button which is only supposed to show a
81 bitmap but uses a standard id would display a label too.
82 @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
83 Creates a button without border. This is currently implemented in MSW,
419b2003
VZ
84 GTK2 and OSX/Cocoa and OSX/Carbon ports but in the latter only applies
85 to buttons with bitmaps and using bitmap of one of the standard sizes
86 only, namely 128*128, 48*48, 24*24 or 16*16. In all the other cases
87 wxBORDER_NONE is ignored under OSX/Carbon (these restrictions don't
88 exist in OSX/Cocoa however).

23324ae1 113 The preferred way to create standard buttons is to use default value of
8024723d 114 @a label. If no label is supplied and @a id is one of standard IDs from
01495abf
VZ
115 @ref page_stockitems "this list", a standard label will be used. In
116 other words, if you use a predefined @c wxID_XXX constant, just omit
117 the label completely rather than specifying it. In particular, help
118 buttons (the ones with @a id of @c wxID_HELP) under Mac OS X can't
119 display any label at all and while wxButton will detect if the standard
120 "Help" label is used and ignore it, using any other label will prevent
121 the button from correctly appearing as a help button and so should be
122 avoided.
