Buttons

A button initiates an instantaneous action when people tap it.

Styles

A button can change its visual style based on size, color, and shape. The styles available for you to use can be found here.

By default the button's style is set to PrimaryLarge.

The styles are grouped into roles:

  • Primary - Use primary button for the main action or to move the people to the next step in their flow.

Example use case: Navigate people to their the next step in a step-by-step process, or to submit a form.

  • Secondary - Use secondary buttons for secondary actions.

Example use case: Allow people to get back to a previous step in the process, or as non-necessary actions.

  • Ghost - Use ghost buttons for alternative/tertiary actions.

Example use case: You want to offer people another feature which is not a part of the main flow or relevant for everyone.

Usage

Using styles

<dui:Button Style="{dui:Styles Button=SecondaryLarge}"          
            Text="Button"
            Command="{Binding Something}" />

Rounded button with a image

<dui:Button Style="{dui:Styles Button=SecondaryRoundedLarge}"          
            ImageSource="{dui:Icons bell_line}"
            Command="{Binding Something}" />

Do not use Text with a ImageSource when creating rounded buttons, as this will lead to bad UX.

Text and image

<dui:Button ImageSource="{dui:Icons bell_line}"
            ImagePlacement="Right"
            Text="Button"
            Command="{Binding Something}" />
