Using the Button

The Button component is a resizable, rectangular button that a user can press with the mouse or the spacebar to initiate an action in the application. You can add a custom icon to a Button. You can also change the behavior of a Button from push to toggle. A toggle Button stays pressed when clicked and returns to its up state when clicked again.

A Button is a fundamental part of many forms and web applications. You can use buttons wherever you want a user to initiate an event. For example, most forms have a Submit button. You could also add Previous and Next buttons to a presentation.
