xtd::forms::ibutton_control Class Reference

#include <ibutton_control.h>

Definition

Allows a control to act like a button on a form.

Namespace

xtd::forms

Library

xtd.forms

Remarks

An example of where this interface might be implemented is default and cancel button processing. Default buttons are notified when an unprocessed ENTER key is entered for a form, just like a dialog box would be closed. Similarly, cancel buttons are notified whenever an unprocessed ESC key is entered on a form, much like a dialog box would be dismissed.

Notes to implementers

Implement this interface in classes that act as button controls. The members of this interface will provide basic button functionality, such as providing a dialog_result to the parent form or the ability to perform a click event, or acting as the default button of a form.

Inherits xtd::interface.

Inherited by xtd::forms::button.

dialog_result() [1/2]

virtual forms::dialog_result xtd::forms::ibutton_control::dialog_result ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets the value returned to the parent form when the button is clicked.

Returns

One of the DialogResult values.

Remarks

When a form is shown as a dialog box using the show_dialog method and one of its buttons is clicked, the button's dialog_result value is assigned to the form's dialog_result property.

Implemented in xtd::forms::button.

dialog_result() [2/2]

virtual control & xtd::forms::ibutton_control::dialog_result ( forms::dialog_result  dialog_result )

pure virtual

Sets the value returned to the parent form when the button is clicked.

Parameters

dialog_result

One of the DialogResult values.

Remarks

When a form is shown as a dialog box using the show_dialog method and one of its buttons is clicked, the button's dialog_result value is assigned to the form's dialog_result property.

Implemented in xtd::forms::button.

notify_default()

virtual void xtd::forms::ibutton_control::notify_default ( bool  value )

pure virtual

Notifies a control that it is the default button so that its appearance and behavior is adjusted accordingly.

Parameters

value

true if the control should behave as a default button; otherwise false.

Remarks

This method is called by a parent form to make a control the default button. Default buttons are set to have an extra thick border.

Implemented in xtd::forms::button.

perform_click()

virtual void xtd::forms::ibutton_control::perform_click ( )

pure virtual

Generates a click event for the control.

Remarks

This method is called for the button that has focus, or for the default button (if no other button has focus) when the user presses the ENTER key. This method is also called when the user presses the ESC key if the button is set as the cancel button.

Implemented in xtd::forms::button.
