A Button intercepts touch events and sends an action message to a target object when tapped. The Button control can display both text and images. When the button is clicked, it looks as if it is being pushed in and released.
Configure.IT provides you with this control, allowing you to click to provide input to an application. A Button here serves as an interactive component that enables users to communicate with an application. This control receives a touch event and executes the action configured related to the events. It provides options for setting the title, image and appearance properties of a button. By using these properties, you can specify a different appearance for each Button state. You can even define an Action on Button to ease the flow of app and give that faultless handling.
