The ExButton component creates a customizable command button for your form. You can use it to perform actions, such as opening another form. The control includes built-in button styles that mimic Windows XP, Windows 95/98, and Mac 8.x. You can also create your own skins quickly using a WYSIWYG skin editor.
ExButton supports features like transparent skins, HTML captions, and custom graphics, all defined with simple text. It works as a drop-in replacement for the standard Windows button, supporting most of the same properties, methods, and events, while offering much more flexibility in appearance.
The Skin method lets you apply a custom graphic to the button. You can define borders, corners, and other parts of the button layout by overlaying objects on the image. These parts remain correctly positioned, no matter the button’s size.
Features include:
- WYSWYG Skin Builder (ability to define your button faces in
minutes)
- Horizontal, Vertical, Rotate, Mirror support
- Rectangular or Round/Circular button support
- Includes support for the current theme and built-in skins for Windows XP, Windows 95/98, and Mac 8.x
