UXButton is primarily used to represent a command in a user interface application. Typical example of commands that are commonly found in an application are Save, OK and Cancel button. UXButton is a fundamental UI control that generally consisted of a visual interface and a text that users can click to execute the command associated to the button. Alternatively, users can press Enter key or Spacebar key to execute the command when the button has focus.

The primary function of UXButton is a command button which represents an action that will be executed when the button is clicked.

The following example shows how to define a simple UXButton using XAML.

<Intersoft:UXButton Content="Save" Width="90"/>

The simplest way to respond to a button click is by handling its Click event. You add the Click handler in the XAML and write the logic in code to respond the Click event such as shown in the following example:

<Intersoft:UXButton Content="Save" Width="90"
                    Click="SaveButton_Clicked"/>

private void SampleControl1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("You clicked Save button!");
}

UXButton implements ICommandSource interface which exposes Command, CommandParameter and CommandTarget property. You can assign a command to a UXButton by setting its Command property to the target command existed in your application. With commanding, you can separate the actual logic of the command from the command definition, which is ideal for MVVM pattern application. To learn about MVVM pattern, see MVVM Pattern Overview.

The following example shows how to assign a Copy command to a UXButton.

<Intersoft:UXButton Content="Copy" Width="90"
                    Click="local:EditingCommands.Copy"/>

In addition to command button, you can also use UXButton as a toggle button, group button, or a navigation button. To learn more about UXButton features, see UXButton Overview.
