Examples

The following example inherits from the ButtonBase class and implements the IButtonControl interface. Implementation is added to the DialogResult property and the NotifyDefault and PerformClick methods.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

public class MyButton : ButtonBase, IButtonControl
{
    private DialogResult myDialogResult;

    public MyButton()
    {
        // Make the button White and a Popup style
        // so it can be distinguished on the form.
        this.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Popup;
        this.BackColor = Color.White;
    }
        
    // Add implementation to the IButtonControl.DialogResult property.
    public DialogResult DialogResult
    {
        get
        {
            return this.myDialogResult;
        }

        set
        {
            if(Enum.IsDefined(typeof(DialogResult), value))				
            {
                this.myDialogResult = value;
            }
        }	
    }

    // Add implementation to the IButtonControl.NotifyDefault method.
    public void NotifyDefault(bool value)
    {
        if(this.IsDefault != value)
        {
            this.IsDefault = value;
        }
    }

    // Add implementation to the IButtonControl.PerformClick method.
    public void PerformClick()
    {
        if(this.CanSelect)
        {
            this.OnClick(EventArgs.Empty);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

When a form is shown as a dialog box using the ShowDialog method and one of its buttons is clicked, the button's DialogResult value is assigned to the form's DialogResult property.
