Specific Properties for Standard Button:

  • Telerik RadButton

    Telerik RadButton is fully customizable button control that allows you to build complex forms and easily manage the user input. The control provides the features, that ASP.NET Button, ImageButton, LinkButton, RadioButton and CheckBox controls have. Developers can easily migrate their applications from using the standard ASP.NET (button) controls to the new RadButton control, because most of their functionality is provided by our control, and is controlled by the same or similar(intuitive) properties.

    Key features:
    • Rich client-side functionality - Much of the server properties are exposed on the client, enabling the user to save a trip to the server just to set a property. There are several client-side events which allow easy and flexible use in a wide range of application scenarios.
    • Command Support - RadButton has full support for Commands. The user can set CommandName and CommandArgument, and handle to Command server-side event to perform specific action when the button with the respective command is pressed.
    • Icons - You can make the button more intuitive by placing an Icon next to its text. Two icons at maximum can be shown on the control. All of the icon related properties are controlled through the <Icon> inner property:

      <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server">
             <Icon PrimaryIconUrl="~/icons/cart.png" SecondaryIconUrl="~/icons/add.png" />
      </telerik:RadButton>

    • ImageButton - The user can easily place an image on the control. The image can be used either as background image, or it can represent the button itself (ImageButton). All of the image related properties are set through the <Image> inner property:

      <telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" runat="server">
             <Image ImageUrl="~/img/SignUp.png" IsBackgroundImage="false" />
      </telerik:RadButton>
    • Customizable ToggleButton - RadButton can be used as a check box or radio button. To turn on the toggle button functionality set the ToggleType property to a value different than ButtonToggleType.None. Setting the value to CustomToggle gives the developer full control over the button.
    • Advanced Skinning - The visual appearance of the Button control can be easily customized through skins. You can use one of the predefined skins or create your own. This eliminates the need to use our RadFormDecorator control, to style a single button on the page.
