@class wxButton
A button is a control that contains a text string, and is one of the most
common elements of a GUI.
It may be placed on a @ref wxDialog "dialog box" or on a @ref wxPanel panel,
or indeed on almost any other window.
By default, i.e. if none of the alignment styles are specified, the label
is centered both horizontally and vertically. If the button has both a
label and a bitmap, the alignment styles above specify the location of the
rectangle combining both the label and the bitmap and the bitmap position
set with wxButton::SetBitmapPosition() defines the relative position of the
bitmap with respect to the label (however currently non-default alignment
combinations are not implemented on all platforms).
Since version 2.9.1 wxButton supports showing both text and an image
(currently only when using wxMSW, wxGTK or wxOSX/Cocoa ports), see
SetBitmap() and SetBitmapLabel(), SetBitmapDisabled() &c methods. In the
previous wxWidgets versions this functionality was only available in (the
now trivial) wxBitmapButton class which was only capable of showing an
image without text.
A button may have either a single image for all states or different images
for the following states (different images are not currently supported
under OS X where the normal image is used for all states):
@li @b normal: the default state
@li @b disabled: bitmap shown when the button is disabled.
@li @b pressed: bitmap shown when the button is pushed (e.g. while the user
keeps the mouse button pressed on it)
@li @b focus: bitmap shown when the button has keyboard focus (but is not
pressed as in this case the button is in the pressed state)
@li @b current: bitmap shown when the mouse is over the button (but it is
not pressed although it may have focus). Notice that if current bitmap
is not specified but the current platform UI uses hover images for the
buttons (such as Windows XP or GTK+), then the focus bitmap is used for
hover state as well. This makes it possible to set focus bitmap only to
get reasonably good behaviour on all platforms.
All of the bitmaps must be of the same size and the normal bitmap must be
set first (to a valid bitmap), before setting any other ones. Also, if the
size of the bitmaps is changed later, you need to change the size of the
normal bitmap before setting any other bitmaps with the new size (and you
do need to reset all of them as their original values can be lost when the
normal bitmap size changes).
The position of the image inside the button be configured using
SetBitmapPosition(). By default the image is on the left of the text.
Please also notice that GTK+ uses a global setting called @c gtk-button-images
to determine if the images should be shown in the buttons
at all. If it is off (which is the case in e.g. Gnome 2.28 by default), no
images will be shown, consistently with the native behaviour.
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxBU_LEFT}
Left-justifies the label. Windows and GTK+ only.
@style{wxBU_TOP}
Aligns the label to the top of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
@style{wxBU_RIGHT}
Right-justifies the bitmap label. Windows and GTK+ only.
@style{wxBU_BOTTOM}
Aligns the label to the bottom of the button. Windows and GTK+ only.
@style{wxBU_EXACTFIT}
Creates the button as small as possible instead of making it of the
standard size (which is the default behaviour ).
@style{wxBU_NOTEXT}
Disables the display of the text label in the button even if it has one
or its id is one of the standard stock ids with an associated label:
without using this style a button which is only supposed to show a
bitmap but uses a standard id would display a label too.
@style{wxBORDER_NONE}
Creates a button without border. This is currently implemented in MSW,
GTK2 and OSX/Carbon ports but in the latter only applies to buttons
with bitmaps and using bitmap of one of the standard sizes only, namely
128*128, 48*48, 24*24 or 16*16. In all the other cases wxBORDER_NONE is
ignored under OSX.
@endStyleTable
@beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
@event{EVT_BUTTON(id, func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED event, when the button is clicked.

/**
Constructor, creating and showing a button.
The preferred way to create standard buttons is to use default value of
@a label. If no label is supplied and @a id is one of standard IDs from
@ref page_stockitems "this list", a standard label will be used. In
other words, if you use a predefined @c wxID_XXX constant, just omit
the label completely rather than specifying it. In particular, help
buttons (the ones with @a id of @c wxID_HELP) under Mac OS X can't
display any label at all and while wxButton will detect if the standard
"Help" label is used and ignore it, using any other label will prevent
the button from correctly appearing as a help button and so should be
avoided.
In addition to that, the button will be decorated with stock icons under GTK+ 2.
@param parent
Parent window. Must not be @NULL.
@param id
Button identifier. A value of @c wxID_ANY indicates a default value.

Text to be displayed on the button.

Button position.
@param size
Button size. If the default size is specified then the button is sized
appropriately for the text.
@param style
Window style. See wxButton class description.
@param validator
Window validator.
@param name
Window name.
