Win32 UI Controls

Control

Description

Button

Button controls are a common way to allow user interaction during runtime; for example, an OK button in a login screen. A Button can respond to a click event, defined by adding an 'OnClick' Tagged Value.

In response to a click event, a button can be used to, for example, send a signal, causing a trigger to fire during runtime.
