Remarks

GlassButton is inherited from ISButton class which includes fundamental features such as Commanding, Navigation, Toggle, ClickMode and more. To learn more about commanding, see Commanding Overview. To learn more about navigation, see Navigation Overview.

XAML Copy Code 
<Intersoft:GlassButton Content="Try Now" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Padding="8,4" Click="GlassButton_Click"></Intersoft:GlassButton>
C# Copy Code 
private void GlassButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Glass Button Clicked");
}

Toggle Button

To configure GlassButton as toggle button you need to set the IsToggleButton property to True and specify the GroupName that group the buttons together.

The following example shows how to configure GlassButton as toggle button.

XAML Copy Code 
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal">
        <Intersoft:GlassButton Content="ON" Width="50" GroupName="ToggleGroup" IsToggleButton="True" IsChecked="True"/>
        <Intersoft:GlassButton Content="OFF" Width="50" GroupName="ToggleGroup" IsToggleButton="True"/>
</StackPanel>

Commanding

Similar to other button controls in ClientUI, GlassButton supports commands that you can bind using MVVM pattern.

The following example shows how to bind a command to GlassButton.

C# Copy Code 
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows;
using Intersoft.Client.Framework.Input;

namespace ClientUI.Samples.ViewModels
{
    public class MainPageViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        public DelegateCommand SubmitCommand { get; set; }

        public MainPageViewModel()
        {
            this.SubmitCommand = new DelegateCommand(ExecuteSubmit, CanExecuteSubmit);
        }

        private bool CanExecuteSubmit(object parameter)
        {
            return true; // you can use validation here to determine when the command is available.
        }

        private void ExecuteSubmit(object parameter)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Submit");
        }

        protected void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
        {
            PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;

            if (handler != null)
            {
                handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
            }
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    }
}
XAML Copy Code 
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
    <Grid.DataContext>
        <vm:MainPageViewModel/>
    </Grid.DataContext>
    <Intersoft:GlassButton Content="Submit" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Command="{Binding SubmitCommand}">            
    </Intersoft:GlassButton>
</Grid>

To learn more about commanding, see Commanding Overview.
