About Button components

Button (PushButton) components initiate an action such as running a procedure or launching a form.

To define the action initiated by a button, specify an event handler for the button's [Primary] event in the [Events] property sheet.

To display a bitmap or icon on a button, set the [Bitmap File Name] property in the [Components] property sheet.

WinStudio provides several specialized forms of buttons, some of which are available from the Design Mode Toolbox, and some of which are only available from the [Type] property on the [Component] properties sheet:

• [CancelPushButton] (only from the [Type] list): A specialized button component that is preset to cancel the current action and close the form.
• [DefPushButton] (only from the [Type] list): A specialized button that becomes the default button for action when the user presses the Enter key. If another button or component has received the focus after a form is opened, then that component is acted upon when Enter is pressed; this key becomes the default action only if the focus has not been manually moved elsewhere.
• [Hyperlink Button]: A specialized button component that allows you to create a "button" that looks and behaves like standard hyperlinked text.
• [Toolbar Button]: A specialized component that creates a button intended to appear on the main toolbar. This is not, strictly speaking, a "push button" like the others.
