    @class wxButton
    @wxheader{button.h}

    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 overview_wxdialog "dialog box" or panel(), or indeed
    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{wxBORDER_NONE}:
           Creates a flat button. Windows and GTK+ only.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventTable
    @event{EVT_BUTTON(id, func)}:
           Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED event, when the button is
           clicked.

        Constructor, creating and showing a button.
        The preferred way to create standard buttons is to use default value of
        @e label. If no label is supplied and @a id is one of standard IDs from
        @ref overview_stockitems "this list", standard label will be used. In addition
        to
        that, the button will be decorated with stock icons under GTK+ 2.
        
        @param parent
            Parent window. Must not be @NULL.
        @param id
            Button identifier. A value of wxID_ANY indicates a default value.
        @param label
            Text to be displayed on the button.
        @param pos
            Button position.
        @param size
            Button size. If the default size is specified then the button is sized
            appropriately for the text.
        @param style
            Window style. See wxButton.
        @param validator
            Window validator.
