title: Button
order: 14
layout: page
---
[[components.button]]
= [classname]#Button#
ifdef::web[]
[.sampler]

endif::web[]
The [classname]#Button# component is normally used for initiating some action,
such as finalizing input in forms. When the user clicks a button, a
[classname]#Button.ClickEvent# is fired, which can be handled with a
[interfacename]#Button.ClickListener# in the [methodname]#buttonClick()# method.
You can handle button clicks with an anonymous class as follows:
[source, java]
----
Button button = new Button("Do not press this button");
button.addClickListener(new Button.ClickListener() {
public void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {
Notification.show("Do not press this button again");
}
});
----
See the http://demo.vaadin.com/book-examples-vaadin7/book#component.button.basic[on-line example, window="_blank"].
The result is shown in <<figure.component.button.basic>>. The listener can also
be given in the constructor, which is often perhaps simpler.

.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 [classname]#Button# object reference
returned by the [methodname]#getButton()# method of
[classname]#Button.ClickEvent# to a kept reference. For a detailed description
of these patterns together with some examples, please see
<<dummy/../../../framework/architecture/architecture-events#architecture.events,"Events
and Listeners">>.
== CSS Style Rules
[source, css]
----
.v-button { }
.v-button-wrap { }
.v-button-caption { }
----
A button has an overall [literal]#++v-button++# style. The caption has
[literal]#++v-button-caption++# style. There is also an intermediate wrap
element, which may help in styling in some cases.
Some built-in themes contain a small style, which you can enable by adding
[parameter]#Reindeer.BUTTON_SMALL#, etc. The [classname]#BaseTheme# also has a
[parameter]#BUTTON_LINK# style, which makes the button look like a hyperlink.
