Button

The Button component is normally used for initiating some action, such as finalizing input in forms. When the user clicks a button, a Button.ClickEvent is fired, which can be handled with a Button.ClickListener in the buttonClick() method.

Java

The listener can also be given in the constructor, which is often perhaps simpler.

The button component can be styled in many ways, as illustrated in Button in Different Styles of Valo Theme.

If you handle several buttons in the same listener, you can differentiate between them either by comparing the Button object reference returned by the getButton() method of Button.ClickEvent to a kept reference. For a detailed description of these patterns together with some examples, please see .

CSS

A button has an overall v-button style. The caption has v-button-caption style. There is also an intermediate wrap element, which may help in styling in some cases.
