The BootstrapButton control extends standard button functionality by providing an enhanced client API and allows to automatically trigger a validation mechanism for DevExpress web controls on both the client side and server side.

Bootstrap Button provides the following features:

• Radio Button Functionality

  It is possible to create a set of mutually exclusive buttons (similar to the functionality found in radio buttons). This can be accomplished by using the ASPxButton.Checked property. To create a mutually exclusive set of buttons, use the ASPxButton.GroupName property to specify a group of button controls. Once the ASPxButton.GroupName property has been set, only one button in the specified group can be checked at one time. When a button’s checked state is changed, the ASPxButton.CheckedChanged event is raised.

• Built-in Validation

  The Bootstrap Button control allows you to perform data validation on both the client and server side.

• Full-Featured Client-Side API

  Bootstrap Button provides a comprehensive client-side API. This API is implemented with JavaScript and is exposed via the BootstrapClientButton object. The BootstrapClientButton object serves as the client-side equivalent of the BootstrapButton control.

  You can operate with editor values using the following methods.

  Method	Description
  ASPxClientButton.DoClick	Simulates a mouse click action on the button control.
  ASPxClientButton.Focus	Sets input focus to the button.
  ASPxClientButton.GetChecked	Returns a value indicating whether the button is checked.
