- PictureButton X,Y,width,height,PictureName$,PictureType.Identifier Description Creates a picture button control in a dialog box template. Comments Picture button controls behave very much like a push button controls. Visually, picture buttons are different than push buttons in that they contain a graphic image imported either from a file.
- The PictureButton gives you native look and feel on all platforms. Do you want full keyboard access when turned on on Mac to actually work?
- The award-winning DevExpress WinForms Subscription includes 190+ UI Controls and Libraries, including Data Grid, Reporting, Chart, Spreadsheet, and many more.

Class
The class of a picture-button control
Control
Instance of the picture-button class. This controlcontains an icon that may be selected by the user. It is capable of anon-momentary pressed-in state.
Picture Button
The image that is to appear on a picture-button (or on a static-picture) widgetmay be specified with any one of the following properties (typicallyby passing the equivalent keyword argument such as :pixmap to make-instance when creatingan instance of the widget):
- Specify a pixmap object as the value of the pixmap property.
- Specify an icon handle as the value of the pixmap-icon property.
- Specify the name of a cached pixmap as the value of the pixmap-name property. (Apixmap is cached by calling cache-pixmap.)
- Specify the pathname or path namestring of a .bmp or .ico file as thevalue of the pixmap-source property. When thisoption is specified programmatically, the pixmap will be loaded fromthe file when the widget is created at runtime; but when specifiedinteractively in the inspector for a widget on a form, the pixmap willbe loaded at design time and saved with project source code so that atruntime the .bmp or .ico file is not loaded or otherwise needed. Thisis most often the useful option when interactively building forms.
Further notes
Picture Buttons Definition
If the :stretching option to make-instance is passed as non-nil, thenthe bitmapped image will stretch automatically to fit the size of thewidget. If nil, it will be drawn at the size at which the image wasdefined. The default is t. See stretching.
Grouping picture-buttons in clusters
The :cluster entry on the dialog item plist can be used to grouppicture-button dialog items into clusters. If the user clicks on onebutton in the cluster, that button will be turned on, and all otherbuttons in the cluster turned off. For example, consider thefollowing:
It creates two picture-button clusters each with two picturebuttons. :cluster entries are compared using eql.
Component overhead and clusters of picture-buttons
Using a multi-picture-button instead ofclusters of picture-buttons will reduce the load on resources andreduce application size/complexity in most situations. Components arewindow-like objects and are relatively costly in terms of systemresources.
Using click-off with picture-button controls
This control supports the click-off property. The:click-off option to make-instance can have the following values:
nil: users can only deselect the button byclicking on another button in the same cluster (or by setting thevalue programmatically).t: users can deselect the button by clickingon it again once it has been selected, i.e., the control will toggleon and off.
Note: :click-off affects only what happens whenclicking on a button widget while it is selected; the state of thebutton can always be changed programmatically by calling (setfvalue).
