Buttons are one way to add interactivity to your dialogs.
{{Template:Disambig}}
=== Button States ===
[[Image:Dialog controls button.jpg|thumb|110px|The same button four times in different states]]
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! State !! Description
|-
| '''Enabled''' || The button has not been [[ctrlEnable|disabled]], it currently doesn't have any mouse or keyboard related focus.
|-
| '''Disabled'''|| The button has been explicitly disabled. It will not be clickable.
|-
| '''Enabled''' + '''Focused'''|| As enabled; additionally it will have a small border of the color defined in the ''colorFocused'' property. This occurs when the button currently has focus (ie. is the default button or has been selected via the ''Tab'' key).
|-
| '''Enabled''' + '''Active'''|| As enabled; additionally it will have a different background as specified in the ''colorBackgroundActive'' background. This occurs when the mouse is currently hovering over an unfocused button.
|-
| '''Enabled''' + '''Active''' + '''Focused'''|| The combined result of the above two states. The mouse is currently hovering over the button in question and it has input focus.
|}
 
=== Reserved IDCs ===
* IDC = 1 for (contextually) OK or CONTINUE
* IDC = 2 for (contextually) CANCEL, ESCAPE or ABORT
 
{{Important|If you use these idc values, no action, script or event handler will operate on them.}}

| Yes
| Control type: 1 (or CT_BUTTON, if using constants)
| {{n/a}}
|-
| '''style'''
| [[Integer]]
| Yes
| Display options:
* 0 (ST_LEFT): Text is left-aligned.
* 1 (ST_RIGHT) : Text is right-aligned.
* 2 (ST_CENTER): Text is centered.
| {{n/a}}
|-
| '''action'''
| [[String]]
| No
| SQS Script statement to execute when button is pressed. Script is compiled and added to the scheduler but cannot be suspended. </tt>_this</tt> is available inside the script but it contains an empty [[String]]. The script is executed when button is released.
| [[buttonSetAction]]
|-
|'''borderSize'''
| [[Number#Float|Float]]
| Yes
| If > 0 then a background (in the color defined in 'colorBorder') is drawn behind the button.
It extends to the left by the distance defined here, its height is slightly less than that of the button, and it is vertically centered.
The width extends to the right, to where the drop shadow starts. Stays static when button is pressed.
| {{n/a}}
|-
|'''colorBackground'''
| [[Color|Color (RGBA)]]
| Yes
| Button's background color if not "active" (i.e. the mouse pointer is not over it).
| [[ctrlSetBackgroundColor]]
|-
|'''colorBackgroundActive'''
| [[Color|Color (RGBA)]]
| Yes
| Background color if "active" (i.e. mouse pointer is over it).
| [[ctrlSetActiveColor]]

|'''colorDisabled'''||[[Color|Color (RGBA)]]||Yes||Text color if control is disabled (via [[ctrlEnable]]) || {{n/a}}
|-
|'''colorFocused'''||[[Color|Color (RGBA)]]||Yes||Alternating background color.
While the control has focus (but ''without'' the mouse pointer being over it) the background will cycle between 'colorFocused' and 'colorBackground'.
If both are the same, then the color will be steady.
| {{n/a}}
|-
|'''colorShadow'''||[[Color|Color (RGBA)]]||Yes||Color of drop shadow behind button (not visible if button disabled) || {{n/a}}
|-
|'''colorText'''||[[Color|Color (RGBA)]]||Yes||Color of text.||[[ctrlSetTextColor]]
|-
|'''default'''||[[Boolean]]||No||Whether the button will have focus upon loading the dialog.||[[ctrlSetFocus]]
|-
|'''offsetPressedX<br>offsetPressedY'''||[[Number#Float|Float]]||Yes||The button's text & background will move by this distance when pressed.
(If a shadow is defined, it will stay in place.)
| {{n/a}}
|-
|'''offsetX<br>offsetY'''||[[Number#Float|Float]]||Yes||Horizontal and vertical offset of drop shadow.
If 0, then shadow will be placed directly behind button
| {{n/a}}
|-
|'''url'''||[[String]]||No||URL which will be opened with default web browser. If tooltip is empty, URL will also be set as that. || {{n/a}}
|-

|-
|'''soundPush'''||[[Array Sound|Sound]]||No||Sound to play when button is clicked. || {{n/a}}
|-
| '''text'''||[[String]]||No||Text to display. Will be vertically centered.||[[ctrlSetText]]
|-

The active text control behaves very similar to buttons. It shows up as regular text with the additional functionality that you can click and select it. The dialog's currently selected Active Text control will be underlined to indicate it is status. By default, the first Active Text control is selected. When the mouse cursor hovers over an instance of this control, it will show up in the color defined in the ''colorActive'' property.
 
'''Notice:''' This control doesn't render the usually common ''colorBackground'' property and ''colorText'' is replaced with ''color''.
*For Arrowhead, this is not true. The properties are there, and it might be an attempt to standardise, or to account for pictures
