Button Control Overview (Windows Forms)
The Windows Forms xref:System.Windows.Forms.Button control allows the user to click it to perform an action. When the button is clicked, it looks as if it is being pushed in and released. Whenever the user clicks a button, the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Click event handler is invoked. You place code in the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Click event handler to perform any action you choose.
The text displayed on the button is contained in the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Text%2A property. If your text exceeds the width of the button, it will wrap to the next line. However, it will be clipped if the control cannot accommodate its overall height. For more information, see How to: Set the Text Displayed by a Windows Forms Control. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Text%2A property can contain an access key, which allows a user to "click" the control by pressing the ALT key with the access key. For details, see How to: Create Access Keys for Windows Forms Controls. The appearance of the text is controlled by the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Font%2A property and the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.TextAlign%2A property.
The xref:System.Windows.Forms.Button control can also display images using the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.Image%2A and xref:System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.ImageList%2A properties. For more information, see How to: Set the Image Displayed by a Windows Forms Control.
