C# Class SwfDotNet.IO.Tags.DefineButton2Tag

It provides a more sophisticated model for creating buttons:

• Two types of button are supported, Push and Menu.
• The number of events that a button can respond to is increased.
• Actions can be executed for any button event.

Push and Menu buttons behave slightly differently in tracking mouse movements when the button is clicked. A Push button 'captures' the mouse so if the cursor is dragged outside of the active area of the button and the mouse click is released then the Release Outside event is still sent to the button. A Menu button does not 'capture' the mouse so if the cursor is dragged out of the active area the button returns to its 'inactive' state.

A DefineButton2Tag object must contain at least one ButtonRecord object. If more than one button record is defined for a given button state then each shape will be displayed by the button. The order in which the shapes are displayed is determined by the layer assigned to each button record.

Each ButtonRecord object can contain an CXFormWithAlphaData object which can be used to change the color of the shape being displayed without changing the original definition.

Actions do not need to be specified for every button event. Indeed actions do not need to be specified at all.
