eXontrol Software - Skin Button ActiveX, NET Control

The button allows for an access key to be set in the caption by placing an ampersand (&) before the character to be used for the access key. The button's first ampersand specifies the access key. Use the <img> HTML tag to insert icons inside the button's caption

The Caption supports the following HTML tags:

bold bolds a part of the caption.
underline specifies that the portion should appear as underlined.
<s> ~~strikeout~~ </s> specifies that the portion should appear as strikeout.
italic specifies that the portion should appear as italic.
<fgcolor=FF0000> fgcolor </fgcolor> changes the foreground color for a portion.
<bgcolor=FF0000> bgcolor </bgcolor> changes the background color for a portion.
breaks a line.
<solidline> draws a solid line. If has no effect for a single line caption.
<dotline> draws a dotted line. If has no effect for a single line caption.
<upline> draws the line to the top of the text line
<r> aligns the rest of the text line to the right side. It has no effect if the caption contains a single line.
<img>number[:width]</img> inserts an icon inside the cell's caption. The number indicates the index of the icon being inserted. The width is optional and indicates the width of the icon being inserted. Using the width option you can overwrite multiple icons getting a nice effect. By default, if the width field is missing, the width is 18 pixels.

The WordWrap property to indicates whether a multi-lines text automatically wraps words to the beginning of the next line when necessary. Use the Image property to assign an image to the button. Use the Picture property to assign a picture on the control's background. Use the Alignment property to align the caption in the button. Use the VAlignment property to vertically align the caption in the button. Use the Style or Skin property to change the button's visual appearance.

All of the properties and methods for all objects in the Exontrol's exButton can be assigned at design time using the WYSWYG Template /Layout editor. Open the control in design mode, and select Properties from its context menu. The Template language uses the x-script language ( very simple ), that can be used to initializes the properties and methods at design time.

The following sample initializes the control's image and caption at design mode, using the Template page:
