Detailed Description

A widget that represents a push button.

To act on a button click, connect a slot to the clicked() signal.

Usage example:

Wt::WPushButton *ok = new Wt::WPushButton("Okay");
ok->clicked().connect(ok, &Wt::WPushButton::disable);
ok->clicked().connect(this, &MyClass::processData);

WPushButton is an inline widget.

CSS

The widget corresponds to the HTML <button> tag (with some exceptions in the bootstrap theme).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Wt::WPushButton::WPushButton ( const WString text,
WContainerWidget parent = 0 
)

Creates a push button with given label text.

The default text format is PlainText.

Member Function Documentation

EventSignal & Wt::WPushButton::checked ( )

Signal emitted when the button gets checked.

This signal is emitted when the user checks the button.

You can use the clicked() signal to react to any change of the button state.

See also
setCheckable()
void Wt::WPushButton::enableAjax ( )
protectedvirtual

Progresses to an Ajax-enabled widget.

This method is called when the progressive bootstrap method is used, and support for AJAX has been detected. The default behavior will upgrade the widget's event handling to use AJAX instead of full page reloads, and propagate the call to its children.

You may want to reimplement this method if you want to make changes to widget when AJAX is enabled. You should always call the base implementation.

See also
WApplication::enableAjax()

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

WLink Wt::WPushButton::icon ( ) const

Returns the icon.

See also
setIcon()
bool Wt::WPushButton::isCheckable ( ) const

Returns whether a button is checkable.

See also
setCheckable()
bool Wt::WPushButton::isChecked ( ) const

Returns the button state.

See also
setChecked()
bool Wt::WPushButton::isDefault ( ) const

Returns whether the button is a default button.

See also
setDefault()
const WLink& Wt::WPushButton::link ( ) const

Returns the destination link.

See also
setLink()
AnchorTarget Wt::WPushButton::linkTarget ( ) const

Returns the location where the linked content should be displayed.

See also
setLinkTarget()
WPopupMenu* Wt::WPushButton::menu ( ) const

Returns an associated popup menu.

See also
setMenu()
void Wt::WPushButton::propagateSetEnabled ( bool  enabled)
protectedvirtual

Propagates that a widget was enabled or disabled through children.

When enabling or disabling a widget, you usually also want to disable contained children. This method is called by setDisabled() to propagate its state to all children.

You may want to reimplement this method if they wish to render differently when a widget is disabled. The default implementation will propagate the signal to all children.

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

std::string Wt::WPushButton::ref ( ) const

Returns the destination URL (deprecated).

When the button refers to a resource, the current resource URL is returned. Otherwise, the URL is returned that was set using setRef().

See also
setRef(), WResource::url()
Deprecated:
Use link() instead.
void Wt::WPushButton::refresh ( )
virtual

Refresh the widget.

The refresh method is invoked when the locale is changed using WApplication::setLocale() or when the user hit the refresh button.

The widget must actualize its contents in response.

Note
This does *not* rerender the widget! Calling refresh() usually does not have any effect (unless you've reimplemented refresh() to attach to it an effect).

Reimplemented from Wt::WFormWidget.

WResource* Wt::WPushButton::resource ( ) const

Returns the destination resource (deprecated).

Returns 0 if no resource has been set.

See also
setResource()
Deprecated:
Use link() instead.
void Wt::WPushButton::setCheckable ( bool  checkable)

Sets whether the button is checkable.

A checkable button can be checked and unchecked, and clicking will toggle between these two states.

See also
setChecked(bool)
void Wt::WPushButton::setChecked ( bool  checked)

Sets the button state.

This is ignored for a button which is not checkable.

This method does not emit one of the checked() or unChecked() signals.

See also
setCheckable(), setChecked(), setUnChecked()
void Wt::WPushButton::setChecked ( )

Checks the button.

Does not emit the checked() signal.

See also
setChecked(bool)
void Wt::WPushButton::setDefault ( bool  enabled)

Sets the default property.

This has only a functional meaning for a button in a dialog footer, as it becomes associated with pressing 'enter' in the dialog.

A default button may be rendered in a different style, depending on the theme.

bool Wt::WPushButton::setFirstFocus ( )
virtual

Set focus on the widget's first descendant.

Set focus on the widget itself, or on a first descendant which can receive focus.

Returns whether focus could be set.

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

void Wt::WPushButton::setIcon ( const WLink link)

Sets an icon.

The icon is placed to the left of the text.

void Wt::WPushButton::setLink ( const WLink link)

Sets a destination link.

This method can be used to make the button behave like a WAnchor (or conversely, an anchor look like a button) and redirect to another URL when clicked.

The link may be to a URL, a resource, or an internal path.

By default, a button does not link to an URL and you should listen to the clicked() signal to react to a click event.

Warning
In Bootstrap theme, you should set a link before it's rendered since it commit's the button to be rendered as an anchor. (see also http://redmine.emweb.be/issues/1802).
void Wt::WPushButton::setLinkTarget ( AnchorTarget  target)

Sets the link target.

This sets the target where the linked contents should be displayed. The default target is TargetSelf.

void Wt::WPushButton::setMenu ( WPopupMenu menu)

Links a popup menu to the button.

When the button is clicked, the linked popup menu is shown.

void Wt::WPushButton::setRef ( const std::string &  url)

Sets a destination URL (deprecated).

Deprecated:
Use setLink() insteadd.
void Wt::WPushButton::setResource ( WResource resource)

Sets a destination resource (deprecated).

This method can be used to make the button behave like a WAnchor (or conversely, an anchor look like a button) and redirect to another resource when clicked.

A resource specifies application-dependent content, which may be generated by your application on demand.

This sets the resource as the destination of the button, and is an alternative to setRef(). The resource may be cleared by passing resource = 0.

The button does not assume ownership of the resource.

See also
setRef()
Deprecated:
Use setLink() instead.
bool Wt::WPushButton::setText ( const WString text)

Sets the button text.

The default text format is Wt::PlainText.

When the current text format is Wt::XHTMLText, and text is literal (not created using WString::tr()), it is parsed using an XML parser which discards malicious tags and attributes silently. When the parser encounters an XML parse error, the textFormat is changed to Wt::PlainText.

Returns whether the text could be set using the current textFormat. A return value of false indicates that the text format was changed in order to be able to accept the new text.

See also
setTextFormat()
bool Wt::WPushButton::setTextFormat ( TextFormat  format)

Sets the text format.

The textFormat controls how the string should be interpreted: either as plain text, which is displayed literally, or as XHTML-markup.

When changing the textFormat to Wt::XHTMLText, and the current text is literal (not created using WString::tr()), the current text is parsed using an XML parser which discards malicious tags and attributes silently. When the parser encounters an XML parse error, the textFormat is left unchanged, and this method returns false.

Returns whether the textFormat could be set for the current text.

The default format is Wt::PlainText.

void Wt::WPushButton::setUnChecked ( )

Unchecks the button.

Does not emit the unChecked() signal.

See also
setChecked(bool)
void Wt::WPushButton::setValueText ( const WString value)
virtual

Sets the current value.

Has no effect, since a button has not value.

Implements Wt::WFormWidget.

const WString& Wt::WPushButton::text ( ) const

Returns the button text.

See also
setText()
TextFormat Wt::WPushButton::textFormat ( ) const

Returns the text format.

See also
setTextFormat()
EventSignal & Wt::WPushButton::unChecked ( )

Signal emitted when the button gets unchecked.

This signal is emitted when the user unchecks the button.

You can use the clicked() signal to react to any change of the button state.

See also
setCheckable()
WString Wt::WPushButton::valueText ( ) const
virtual

Returns the current value.
