Description

The ToolBarButton component is a toolbar button.

Comments

The component is implemented by the ToolBarButton class.

Example

The example below shows a toolbar that houses buttons of different types: radio buttons, checkboxes, and a dropdown menu button.

The ToolBar.addItem method is used to add buttons on the toolbar. The IsToggle and GroupName properties determine if a button belongs to a group of checkboxes or radiobuttons. Button drop-down menu is defined in the Menu property.

A button may contain an icon. The following methods can be used to set an icon for the button:

• In the ToolBar.ImageList property specify the set of icons and using the RowIndex and ColumnIndex properties set the coordinates of the required icon.

• Use the ImageUrl property to specify path for the desired icon.

The Content property sets the button text.

Main event of a button is the toggle event.
