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

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

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_BaseButton__pressed:

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

.. _class_BaseButton__toggled:

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

.. _class_BaseButton_set_pressed:

- void  **set_pressed**  **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` pressed  **)**

Set the button to pressed state (only if toggle_mode is active).

.. _class_BaseButton_is_pressed:

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

If toggle_mode is active, return whether the button is toggled. If toggle_mode is not active, return whether the button is pressed down.

.. _class_BaseButton_is_hovered:

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

.. _class_BaseButton_set_toggle_mode:

- void  **set_toggle_mode**  **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` enabled  **)**

Set the button toggle_mode property. Toggle mode makes the button flip state between pressed and unpressed each time its area is clicked.

.. _class_BaseButton_is_toggle_mode:

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

Return the toggle_mode property (see :ref:`set_toggle_mode<class_BaseButton_set_toggle_mode>`).

.. _class_BaseButton_set_disabled:

- void  **set_disabled**  **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` disabled  **)**

Set the button into disabled state. When a button is disabled, it can't be clicked or toggled.

.. _class_BaseButton_is_disabled:

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

Return wether the button is in disabled state (see :ref:`set_disabled<class_BaseButton_set_disabled>`).

.. _class_BaseButton_set_click_on_press:

- void  **set_click_on_press**  **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` enable  **)**

Set the button click_on_press mode. This mode generates click events when a mousebutton or key is just pressed (by default events are generated when the button/keys are released and both press and release occur in the visual area of the Button).

.. _class_BaseButton_get_click_on_press:

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

Return the state of the click_on_press property (see :ref:`set_click_on_press<class_BaseButton_set_click_on_press>`).

.. _class_BaseButton_get_draw_mode:

- :ref:`int<class_int>`  **get_draw_mode**  **(** **)** const

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