SimpleButton.Text Property
Gets or sets the text string displayed within the button control.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v23.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| String | A string value representing the button’s caption. |
Remarks
Changing this property’s value at runtime raises the TextChanged event.
The button’s text is not displayed if the SimpleButton.ImageLocation property is set to MiddleCenter and an image is assigned to the button via the SimpleButton.ImageIndex or SimpleButton.Image properties. In this instance, only the image centered within the button is displayed.
If the SimpleButton.AllowHtmlDraw property is set to true, you can use HTML tags to format the SimpleButton.Text. For detailed information see HTML Text Formatting.
Example
The following code creates a SimpleButton at a specific location and subscribes to the button’s Click event. The BaseButton.CalcBestFit method is used to calculate the button size that fits the button’s contents.
using DevExpress.XtraEditors;
// ...
CreateSimpleButton(30, 30);
// ...
private void CreateSimpleButton(int left, int top) {
SimpleButton simpleButton = new SimpleButton();
Controls.Add(simpleButton);
simpleButton.Text = "Show Settings Page";
simpleButton.ImageOptions.ImageList = imageCollection1;
simpleButton.ImageOptions.ImageIndex = 0;
simpleButton.Padding = new Padding(10);
using(var graphics = simpleButton.CreateGraphics())
simpleButton.Size = simpleButton.CalcBestFit(graphics);
simpleButton.Location = new Point(left, top);
simpleButton.Click += SimpleButton_Click;
}
private void SimpleButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// ...
}
