This example assumes that a form contains a ButtonEdit control with two buttons.

The following code shows how to respond to clicking these buttons via the ButtonEdit.ButtonClick event.

The result of clicking the second button for a button edit control is displayed below:

C#

using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls;

private void buttonEdit1_ButtonClick(object sender, ButtonPressedEventArgs e) {
    ButtonEdit editor = (ButtonEdit)sender;
    EditorButton Button = e.Button;
    string Info = "";
    string EOL = "\n";
    Info += " Kind: " + Button.Kind.ToString() + EOL;
    Info += " Caption: " + Button.Caption + EOL;
    Info += " Image assigned: " + (Button.Image != null).ToString() + EOL;
    Info += " Shortcut: " + Button.Shortcut.ToString() + EOL;
    Info += " IsLeft: " + Button.IsLeft.ToString() + EOL;
    Info += " Width: " + Button.Width.ToString() + EOL;
    Info += " Index: " + editor.Properties.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button).ToString();

    XtraMessageBox.Show(Info, "ButtonClick event");
}

VB.NET

Private Sub ButtonEdit1_ButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, _
 ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.ButtonPressedEventArgs) _
 Handles ButtonEdit1.ButtonClick
    Dim Editor As ButtonEdit = CType(sender, ButtonEdit)
    Dim Button As EditorButton = e.Button
    Dim Info As String
    Dim EOL As String = vbCrLf
    Info += " Kind: " + Button.Kind.ToString() + EOL
    Info += " Caption: " + Button.Caption + EOL
    Info += " Image assigned: " + (Not Button.Image Is Nothing).ToString() + EOL
    Info += " Shortcut: " + Button.Shortcut.ToString() + EOL
    Info += " IsLeft: " + Button.IsLeft.ToString() + EOL
    Info += " Width: " + Button.Width.ToString() + EOL
    Info += " Index: " + Editor.Properties.Buttons.IndexOf(e.Button).ToString()

    XtraMessageBox.Show(Info, "ButtonClick event")
End Sub
