Adding a ButtonAdv control through code

Step 1: Create a new Windows Forms application in Visual Studio. Add the following required assembly references and namespace to the project.

• Syncfusion.Shared.Base

C#

using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools;

VB.NET

Imports Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools

Step 2: In Form1.cs, create an instance of “ButtonAdv” control and add in to the form. Also you can customize the ButtonAdv properties using the following code.

C#

public Form1()
 {
            
            InitializeComponent();
            ButtonAdv button = new ButtonAdv();
            button.UseVisualStyle = true;
            button.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(296, 179);
            button.Name = "buttonAdv1";
            button.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(165, 82);
            button.Text = "ButtonAdv";
            button.ThemeName = "Office2019Colorful";
            this.Controls.Add(button);
}

VB.NET

Public Sub New()

    InitializeComponent()
    Dim button As ButtonAdv = New ButtonAdv()
    button.UseVisualStyle = True
    button.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(296, 179)
    button.Name = "buttonAdv1"
    button.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(165, 82)
    button.Text = "ButtonAdv"
    button.ThemeName = "Office2019Colorful"
    Me.Controls.Add(button)

End Sub

Step 3: Run the application and the following output will be shown.

Adding an image and relation location for the image with ButtonAdv’s Text

In ButtonAdv control, we can embed image using the Image property. Meanwhile in-order to set the image along with custom text, we can use the Text property and define relation between image and text using TextImageRelation property.

C#

public Form1()
 {
            
            InitializeComponent();
            ButtonAdv button = new ButtonAdv();
            //Adding the image to ButtonAdv control
            button.Image = global::WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources.Calculatorimage;
            button.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(296, 179);
            button.Name = "buttonAdv1";
            button.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(165, 82);
            button.Text = "ButtonAdv";
            //Setting the TextImageRelation property to the button
            button.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;
            button.ThemeName = "Office2019Colorful";
            this.Controls.Add(button);
}

VB.NET

Public Sub New()

    InitializeComponent()
    Dim button As ButtonAdv = New ButtonAdv()
    'Adding the image to ButtonAdv control
    button.Image = [global].WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources.Calculatorimage
    button.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(296, 179)
    button.Name = "buttonAdv1"
    button.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(165, 82)
    button.Text = "ButtonAdv"
    'Setting the TextImageRelation property to the button
    button.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText
    button.ThemeName = "Office2019Colorful"
    Me.Controls.Add(button)

End Sub
