ButtonEdit() Constructor

Initializes a new ButtonEdit control instance.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

public ButtonEdit()

VB.NET

Public Sub New

Remarks

Use the constructor to create a standalone ButtonEdit control. This initializes all properties to their default values. The editor is created with a single button (of type ButtonPredefines.Ellipsis). The ButtonEdit.Properties property allows you to customize the editor’s appearance and behavior.

To create a button editor inplace for XtraGrid, for instance, you should create a corresponding repository item of the RepositoryItemButtonEdit class and assign it to a column.

Example

The following code creates a ButtonEdit control and places it onto a panel:

The code changes the button collection as follows:

• Changes the default button glyph (ellipsis) into (ButtonPredefines.OK).
• Adds a button that displays the glyph (ButtonPredefines.Delete).

The example subscribes to the ButtonEdit.ButtonClick event to respond to button clicks.

C#

ButtonEdit btnEdit1 = new ButtonEdit();
btnEdit1.Width = 100;
btnEdit1.Properties.Buttons[0].Kind = ButtonPredefines.OK;
btnEdit1.Properties.Buttons.Add(new EditorButton(ButtonPredefines.Delete));
panel1.Controls.Add(btnEdit1);

btnEdit1.ButtonClick += BtnEdit1_ButtonClick;

private void BtnEdit1_ButtonClick(object sender, ButtonPressedEventArgs e) {
    ButtonEdit editor = sender as ButtonEdit;
    if(e.Button.Kind == ButtonPredefines.OK) {
        //...
    }
    if (e.Button.Kind == ButtonPredefines.Delete) {
        //...
    }
}

VB.NET

Dim btnEdit1 As ButtonEdit = New ButtonEdit()
btnEdit1.Width = 100
btnEdit1.Properties.Buttons(0).Kind = ButtonPredefines.OK
btnEdit1.Properties.Buttons.Add(New EditorButton(ButtonPredefines.Delete))
Panel1.Controls.Add(btnEdit1)

AddHandler btnEdit1.ButtonClick, AddressOf BtnEdit1_ButtonClick

Private Sub BtnEdit1_ButtonClick(sender As Object, e As ButtonPressedEventArgs)
    Dim editor As ButtonEdit = TryCast(sender, ButtonEdit)
    If e.Button.Kind = ButtonPredefines.OK Then
        '...
    End If
    If e.Button.Kind = ButtonPredefines.Delete Then
        '...
    End If
End Sub
