SimpleButton() Constructor

Creates a new SimpleButton object.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public SimpleButton()

VB.NET

Public Sub New

Remarks

Use this constructor to create a new SimpleButton control at runtime. The constructor initializes the created button with default settings. Note: the new button should be added to a container’s Controls collection in order to be displayed.

Example

The following sample code declares a CreateSimpleButton method that creates and initializes a new SimpleButton control. The method has two parameters specifying the coordinates of the button’s top left corner. The BaseButton.CalcBestFit method is used to calculate the size of the button’s contents (an image and text) in order to set a proper button size.

The result of the sample code execution is displayed below.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraEditors;
// ...
private void CreateSimpleButton(int left, int top){
   // Creating and initializing a new SimpleButton control
   SimpleButton simpleButton = new SimpleButton();
   Controls.Add(simpleButton);
   simpleButton.Text = "Show Settings Page";
   simpleButton.ImageList = imageList1;
   simpleButton.ImageIndex = 0;
   simpleButton.Size = simpleButton.CalcBestFit(simpleButton.CreateGraphics());
   simpleButton.Location = new Point(left, top);
}
// Creating SimpleButton control at the specific location
CreateSimpleButton(30, 30);

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraEditors
' ...
Private Sub CreateSimpleButton(ByVal left As Integer, ByVal top As Integer)
   ' Creating and initializing a new SimpleButton control
   Dim simpleButton As New SimpleButton()
   Controls.Add(simpleButton)
   simpleButton.Text = "Show Settings Page"
   simpleButton.ImageList = ImageList1
   simpleButton.ImageIndex = 0
   simpleButton.Size = simpleButton.CalcBestFit(simpleButton.CreateGraphics())
   simpleButton.Location = New Point(left, top)
End Sub
' Creating SimpleButton control at the specific location
CreateSimpleButton(30, 30)
