EditorButton.IsDefaultButton Property

Gets or sets whether the button is the default button.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v22.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public virtual bool IsDefaultButton { get; set; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Overridable Property IsDefaultButton As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the button is the default button; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Default editor buttons are the buttons that are displayed by default. For instance, when a ButtonEdit is dropped onto a form, it displays a (…) button which is the default button. The button’s IsDefaultButton property specifies whether the button is the default button. This can be useful when creating custom editors with additional default buttons.

Example

The example below demonstrates how to create a custom button editor with default spin buttons.

C#

class RepositoryItemMyButtonEdit : RepositoryItemButtonEdit {
    // ...
    public static void RegisterMyButtonEdit() {
        // ...
        EditorRegistrationInfo.Default.Editors.Add(new EditorClassInfo("MyButtonEdit", 
        typeof(MyButtonEdit), typeof(RepositoryItemMyButtonEdit), 
        typeof(DevExpress.XtraEditors.ViewInfo.ButtonEditViewInfo), 
        new DevExpress.XtraEditors.Drawing.ButtonEditPainter(), 
        true, null, typeof(DevExpress.Accessibility.ButtonEditAccessible)));
    }
    private void AddDefaultButton(EditorButton btn, Keys keys) {
        btn.IsLeft = true;
        btn.Shortcut = new DevExpress.Utils.KeyShortcut(keys);
        btn.IsDefaultButton = true;
        Buttons.Add(btn);
    }
    public override void CreateDefaultButton() {
        base.CreateDefaultButton();
        AddDefaultButton(new EditorButton(ButtonPredefines.SpinRight), Keys.Add);
        AddDefaultButton(new EditorButton(ButtonPredefines.SpinLeft), Keys.Subtract);
    }
}

public class MyButtonEdit : DevExpress.XtraEditors.ButtonEdit {
    static MyButtonEdit() {
        RepositoryItemMyButtonEdit.RegisterMyButtonEdit();
    }
    public override string EditorTypeName { get { return "MyButtonEdit"; } }
    // ...
}

VB.NET

Public Class RepositoryItemMyButtonEdit
    Inherits RepositoryItemButtonEdit

    ' ...
    Public Shared Sub RegisterMyButtonEdit()
        ' ...
        EditorRegistrationInfo.Default.Editors.Add(New EditorClassInfo("MyButtonEdit", _ 
        GetType(MyButtonEdit), GetType(RepositoryItemMyButtonEdit), _ 
        GetType(ButtonEditViewInfo), New DevExpress.XtraEditors.Drawing.ButtonEditPainter(), _ 
        True, EditImageIndexes.ButtonEdit, _ 
        GetType(DevExpress.Accessibility.ButtonEditAccessible)))
    End Sub

    Private Sub AddDefaultButton(ByVal btn As EditorButton, ByVal keys As Keys)
        btn.IsLeft = True
        btn.Shortcut = New DevExpress.Utils.KeyShortcut(keys)
        btn.IsDefaultButton = True
        Buttons.Add(btn)
    End Sub

    Public Overrides Sub CreateDefaultButton()
        MyBase.CreateDefaultButton()
        AddDefaultButton(New EditorButton(ButtonPredefines.SpinRight), Keys.Add)
        AddDefaultButton(New EditorButton(ButtonPredefines.SpinLeft), Keys.Subtract)
    End Sub
End Class

Public Class MyButtonEdit
    Inherits DevExpress.XtraEditors.ButtonEdit

    Shared Sub New()
        RepositoryItemMyButtonEdit.RegisterMyButtonEdit()
    End Sub

    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property EditorTypeName() As String
        Get
            Return "MyButtonEdit"
        End Get
    End Property
End Class
