Signals
-------

.. _class_BaseButton_signal_button_down:

- **button_down** **(** **)**

Emitted when the button starts being held down.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_signal_button_up:

- **button_up** **(** **)**

Emitted when the button stops being held down.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_signal_pressed:

- **pressed** **(** **)**

This signal is emitted every time the button is toggled or pressed (i.e. activated, so on ``button_down`` if "Click on press" is active and on ``button_up`` otherwise).

----

.. _class_BaseButton_signal_toggled:

- **toggled** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` button_pressed **)**

This signal is emitted when the button was just toggled between pressed and normal states (only if toggle_mode is active). The new state is contained in the *button_pressed* argument.

Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_BaseButton_DrawMode:

.. _class_BaseButton_constant_DRAW_NORMAL:

.. _class_BaseButton_constant_DRAW_PRESSED:

.. _class_BaseButton_constant_DRAW_HOVER:

.. _class_BaseButton_constant_DRAW_DISABLED:

.. _class_BaseButton_constant_DRAW_HOVER_PRESSED:

enum **DrawMode**:

- **DRAW_NORMAL** = **0** --- The normal state (i.e. not pressed, not hovered, not toggled and enabled) of buttons.

- **DRAW_PRESSED** = **1** --- The state of buttons are pressed.

- **DRAW_HOVER** = **2** --- The state of buttons are hovered.

- **DRAW_DISABLED** = **3** --- The state of buttons are disabled.

- **DRAW_HOVER_PRESSED** = **4**

----

.. _enum_BaseButton_ActionMode:

.. _class_BaseButton_constant_ACTION_MODE_BUTTON_PRESS:

.. _class_BaseButton_constant_ACTION_MODE_BUTTON_RELEASE:

enum **ActionMode**:

- **ACTION_MODE_BUTTON_PRESS** = **0** --- Require just a press to consider the button clicked.

- **ACTION_MODE_BUTTON_RELEASE** = **1** --- Require a press and a subsequent release before considering the button clicked.

Description
-----------

BaseButton is the abstract base class for buttons, so it shouldn't be used directly (it doesn't display anything). Other types of buttons inherit from it.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_BaseButton_property_action_mode:

- :ref:`ActionMode<enum_BaseButton_ActionMode>` **action_mode**

+----------+------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_action_mode(value) |
+----------+------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_action_mode()      |
+----------+------------------------+

Determines when the button is considered clicked, one of the ACTION_MODE\_\* constants.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_button_mask:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **button_mask**

+----------+------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_button_mask(value) |
+----------+------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_button_mask()      |
+----------+------------------------+

Binary mask to choose which mouse buttons this button will respond to.

To allow both left-click and right-click, set this to 3, because it's BUTTON_MASK_LEFT | BUTTON_MASK_RIGHT.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_disabled:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **disabled**

+----------+---------------------+
| *Setter* | set_disabled(value) |
+----------+---------------------+
| *Getter* | is_disabled()       |
+----------+---------------------+

If ``true``, the button is in disabled state and can't be clicked or toggled.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_enabled_focus_mode:

- :ref:`FocusMode<enum_Control_FocusMode>` **enabled_focus_mode**

+----------+-------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_enabled_focus_mode(value) |
+----------+-------------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_enabled_focus_mode()      |
+----------+-------------------------------+

Focus access mode to use when switching between enabled/disabled (see :ref:`Control.focus_mode<class_Control_property_focus_mode>` and :ref:`disabled<class_BaseButton_property_disabled>`).

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_group:

- :ref:`ButtonGroup<class_ButtonGroup>` **group**

+----------+-------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_button_group(value) |
+----------+-------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_button_group()      |
+----------+-------------------------+

:ref:`ButtonGroup<class_ButtonGroup>` associated to the button.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_pressed:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **pressed**

+----------+--------------------+
| *Setter* | set_pressed(value) |
+----------+--------------------+
| *Getter* | is_pressed()       |
+----------+--------------------+

If ``true``, the button's state is pressed. Means the button is pressed down or toggled (if toggle_mode is active).

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_shortcut:

- :ref:`ShortCut<class_ShortCut>` **shortcut**

+----------+---------------------+
| *Setter* | set_shortcut(value) |
+----------+---------------------+
| *Getter* | get_shortcut()      |
+----------+---------------------+

:ref:`ShortCut<class_ShortCut>` associated to the button.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_shortcut_in_tooltip:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **shortcut_in_tooltip**

+----------+----------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_shortcut_in_tooltip(value)   |
+----------+----------------------------------+
| *Getter* | is_shortcut_in_tooltip_enabled() |
+----------+----------------------------------+

If ``true``, the button will add information about its shortcut in the tooltip.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_property_toggle_mode:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **toggle_mode**

+----------+------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_toggle_mode(value) |
+----------+------------------------+
| *Getter* | is_toggle_mode()       |
+----------+------------------------+

If ``true``, the button is in toggle mode. Makes the button flip state between pressed and unpressed each time its area is clicked.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_BaseButton_method__pressed:

- void **_pressed** **(** **)** virtual

Called when the button is pressed.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_method__toggled:

- void **_toggled** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` button_pressed **)** virtual

Called when the button is toggled (only if toggle_mode is active).

----

.. _class_BaseButton_method_get_draw_mode:

- :ref:`DrawMode<enum_BaseButton_DrawMode>` **get_draw_mode** **(** **)** const

Returns the visual state used to draw the button. This is useful mainly when implementing your own draw code by either overriding _draw() or connecting to "draw" signal. The visual state of the button is defined by the DRAW\_\* enum.

----

.. _class_BaseButton_method_is_hovered:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_hovered** **(** **)** const

Returns ``true`` if the mouse has entered the button and has not left it yet.
