Button (text=None) -> Button ()

A widget class, which can react upon mouse events.

The Button widget can listen to mouse events such as clicks or a pressed button and can display a short text.

The text to display on the Button can be set using the 'text' attribute or the set_text() method. The text is displayed using a Label widget, which is placed upon the Button surface, thus all text capabilities of the Label, such as mnemonics, can be applied to the Button as well.

button.text = '#Click me' # Use the C character as mnemonic. button.text = 'Button' # A simple text. button.set_text ('Button ##1') # Creates the text 'Button #1'

To operate on the displayed Label directly (which is NOT recommended), the 'child' attribute and set_child() method can be used. They have a slightly different behaviour than the methods of the ButtonBase class and allow only Label widgets to be assigned to the Button. Additionally the Label its 'widget' attribute will be bound to the Button.

button.child = Label ('#Button') button.set_child (None)

The Button supports different border types by setting its 'border' attribute to a valid value of the BORDER_TYPES constants.

button.border = BORDER_SUNKEN button.set_border (BORDER_SUNKEN)

Note: Changing the 'state' attribute of the Button will also affect the state of the Label placed on the Button.

Default action (invoked by activate()): See the ButtonBase class.

Mnemonic action (invoked by activate_mnemonic()): See the ButtonBase class.

Attributes: text - The text to display on the Button. border - The border style to set for the Button.
