Creating buttons from the Stock Button library

You can select from a gallery of stock buttons to add to project. All Back, Next, Home and Exit buttons within the gallery are pre-programmed with the corresponding action. You can also edit the foreground and background colors and quickly adjust the alignment and spacing when adding multiple buttons at once.

To create buttons from the Stock Buttons library:

1. Select the location in the Project Explorer to which you want to add the buttons.

2. On the Insert ribbon, click the down-arrow under Button in the Add Navigation and Interaction group and select Stock Button. The Stock Buttons library opens.

3. Navigate and select the button you want to add. Use the Category list to select from multiple categories. Hold down your Ctrl key to select multiple buttons.

4. Use the Foreground colors to change the foreground color of the buttons and the Background colors to change the background color of the buttons.

5. If you selected multiple buttons to add, use select Across or Down to adjust their alignment. Use the Spacing field to specify the spacing of the buttons in pixels.

6. Click Insert.

The buttons are added to the project. Use the button properties to assign an action to the button.
