This section describes various types of button supported by the SfButton.

Text and Image Button

The text and image can be displayed inside the SfButton by initializing the Text and Image properties.

C#

//Adding the text value.
this.sfButton1.Text = Print;

//Adding the image value to SfButton
this.sfButton1.Image = Image.FromFile(@"..\..\Data\Image1.png");

Positioning Text and Image

The text and image positions can be adjusted by using the TextImageRelation property.

C#

//Initializing the text and image positions.
sfButton1.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;

Spacing between Text and Image

The space between the text and image can be adjusted by using the TextMargin and ImageMargin properties.

C#

//Adjust the text margin of the SfButton
sfButton1.TextMargin = new Padding(3, 3, 3, 3);

//Adjust the image margin of the SfButton
sfButton1.ImageMargin = new Padding(3, 3, 3, 3);

Image Button

The SfButton can be displayed only with the image by setting the empty string value to the Text property and initialize the image value to the Image property. The size of the image can be changed by using the ImageSize property.

Icon Button

The SfButton can be displayed only with an icon by setting the empty string value to the Text property and initialize the icon value to Image property. You can show the icon button alone by setting the borders to null, and setting the back color of the button same as the background area.

C#

//To show the icon button, initialize the background color same as the screen or background area color.
this.IconButton2.Style.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
this.IconButton2.Style.DisabledBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
this.IconButton2.Style.FocusedBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
this.IconButton2.Style.HoverBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
this.IconButton2.Style.HoverBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;

//Sets the border to null for all button states.
IconButton2.Style.Border = null;
IconButton2.Style.HoverBorder = null;
IconButton2.Style.FocusedBorder = null;
IconButton2.Style.PressedBorder = null;
