IButtonControl Interface
Allows a control to act like a button on a form.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
An example of where this interface might be implemented is default and cancel button processing. Default buttons are notified when an unprocessed ENTER key is entered for a form, just like a dialog box would be closed. Similarly, cancel buttons are notified whenever an unprocessed ESC key is entered on a form, much like a dialog box would be dismissed.
Notes to Implementers:Implement this interface in classes that act as button controls. The members of this interface will provide basic button functionality, such as providing a DialogResult to the parent form or the ability to perform a Click event, or acting as the default button of a form.
The following example inherits from the ButtonBase class and implements the IButtonControl interface. Implementation is added to the DialogResult property and the NotifyDefault and PerformClick methods.
Imports System Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports System.Drawing Public Class MyButton Inherits ButtonBase Implements IButtonControl Private myDialogResult As DialogResult Public Sub New() ' Make the button White and a Popup style ' so it can be distinguished on the form. Me.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Popup Me.BackColor = Color.White End Sub ' Add implementation to the IButtonControl.DialogResult property. Public Property DialogResult() As DialogResult Implements IButtonControl.DialogResult Get Return Me.myDialogResult End Get Set If [Enum].IsDefined(GetType(DialogResult), value) Then Me.myDialogResult = value End If End Set End Property ' Add implementation to the IButtonControl.NotifyDefault method. Public Sub NotifyDefault(value As Boolean) Implements IButtonControl.NotifyDefault If Me.IsDefault <> value Then Me.IsDefault = value End If End Sub ' Add implementation to the IButtonControl.PerformClick method. Public Sub PerformClick() Implements IButtonControl.PerformClick If Me.CanSelect Then Me.OnClick(EventArgs.Empty) End If End Sub End Class
