Examples

The following code example demonstrates the Width property of the Button control. The example adds two Button controls named sizeButton and locationButton to a document. When sizeButton is clicked, the Height and Width properties are adjusted so that the button changes size. When locationButton is clicked, the Top and Left properties are adjusted so that the button changes location. After each button is modified, the example displays the new Right, Bottom, Height, Width, Top and Left property values of the clicked button in a message box.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void ModifySizeAndLocation()
{
    // Create a button that resizes when clicked.
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button sizeButton =
        this.Controls.AddButton(25, 25, 80, 30, "sizeButton");
    sizeButton.Name = "sizeButton";
    sizeButton.Text = "Click to change size";
    sizeButton.Click += new EventHandler(modifyButtons_Click);

    // Create a button that moves when clicked.
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button locationButton =
        this.Controls.AddButton(50, 100, 80, 30, "locationButton");
    locationButton.Name = "locationButton";
    locationButton.Text = "Click to change location";
    locationButton.Click += new EventHandler(modifyButtons_Click);
}

// Represents the toggle states of the buttons.
private bool toggleState1 = true;
private bool toggleState2 = true;

// Modify the appearance of the clicked button.
void modifyButtons_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button clickedButton =
        (Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button)sender;

    // Toggle the Height and Width of sizeButton.
    if (clickedButton.Name == "sizeButton")
    {
        if (toggleState1)
        {
            clickedButton.Height = 40;
            clickedButton.Width = 50;
            toggleState1 = false;
        }
        else

            clickedButton.Width = 80;
            toggleState1 = true;
        }
    }

    // Toggle the Left and Top of locationButton.
    else
    {
        if (toggleState2)
        {
            clickedButton.Left = 25;
            clickedButton.Top = 150;

        }
    }

        "\nBottom: " + clickedButton.Bottom.ToString() +

End Sub

Remarks

Changes made to the Width and left property values cause the Right property value of the Button to change.

The Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button.Width property uses points, whereas System.Windows.Forms.Control.Width property uses pixels.
