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

8c6791e4 21 @style{wxBU_TOP}
a2117591 22 Aligns the label to the top of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
8c6791e4 23 @style{wxBU_RIGHT}
a2117591 24 Right-justifies the bitmap label. Windows and GTK+ only.
8c6791e4 25 @style{wxBU_BOTTOM}
a2117591 26 Aligns the label to the bottom of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
8c6791e4 27 @style{wxBU_EXACTFIT}
a2117591
VZ
28 Creates the button as small as possible instead of making it of the
29 standard size (which is the default behaviour ).
30 @style{wxBU_NOTEXT}
31 Disables the display of the text label in the button even if it has one
32 or its id is one of the standard stock ids with an associated label:
33 without using this style a button which is only supposed to show a
34 bitmap but uses a standard id would display a label too.
8c6791e4 35 @style{wxBORDER_NONE}
6398a32d 36 Creates a button without border. This is currently implemented in MSW,
e5d05b90
VZ
37 GTK2 and OSX/Carbon ports but in the latter only applies to buttons
38 with bitmaps and using bitmap of one of the standard sizes only, namely
6398a32d
VZ
39 128*128, 48*48, 24*24 or 16*16. In all the other cases wxBORDER_NONE is
40 ignored under OSX.

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

8c6791e4 52 @event{EVT_BUTTON(id, func)}

57 Since version 2.9.1 wxButton supports showing both text and an image
58 (currently only when using wxMSW, wxGTK or wxOSX/Cocoa ports), see
2352862a
VZ
59 SetBitmap() and SetBitmapLabel(), SetBitmapDisabled() &c methods. In the
60 previous wxWidgets versions this functionality was only available in (the
61 now trivial) wxBitmapButton class which was only capable of showing an
62 image without text.
63
64 A button may have either a single image for all states or different images
e5d05b90
VZ
65 for the following states (different images are not currently supported
66 under OS X where the normal image is used for all states):
2352862a
VZ
67 @li @b normal: the default state
68 @li @b disabled: bitmap shown when the button is disabled.
69 @li @b pressed: bitmap shown when the button is pushed (e.g. while the user
70 keeps the mouse button pressed on it)
71 @li @b focus: bitmap shown when the button has keyboard focus (but is not
72 pressed as in this case the button is in the pressed state)
73 @li @b current: bitmap shown when the mouse is over the button (but it is
74 not pressed although it may have focus). Notice that if current bitmap
75 is not specified but the current platform UI uses hover images for the
76 buttons (such as Windows XP or GTK+), then the focus bitmap is used for
77 hover state as well. This makes it possible to set focus bitmap only to
78 get reasonably good behaviour on all platforms.
79
80 All of the bitmaps must be of the same size and the normal bitmap must be
ce39ca74
VZ
81 set first (to a valid bitmap), before setting any other ones. Also, if the
82 size of the bitmaps is changed later, you need to change the size of the
83 normal bitmap before setting any other bitmaps with the new size (and you
84 do need to reset all of them as their original values can be lost when the
85 normal bitmap size changes).
2352862a
VZ
86
87 The position of the image inside the button be configured using
88 SetBitmapPosition(). By default the image is on the left of the text.
89

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

23324ae1 112 The preferred way to create standard buttons is to use default value of
8024723d 113 @a label. If no label is supplied and @a id is one of standard IDs from
01495abf
VZ
114 @ref page_stockitems "this list", a standard label will be used. In
115 other words, if you use a predefined @c wxID_XXX constant, just omit
116 the label completely rather than specifying it. In particular, help
117 buttons (the ones with @a id of @c wxID_HELP) under Mac OS X can't
118 display any label at all and while wxButton will detect if the standard
119 "Help" label is used and ignore it, using any other label will prevent
120 the button from correctly appearing as a help button and so should be
121 avoided.
