Suggestions for Buttons

ebloom

Selecting symbols for a Segmented Button is difficult. The dropdown list is long and unsorted. Could it use the same selection as a regular Button?. This applies to Segmented Buttons on Windows and Toolbars.
Can Segmented Buttons have images?
Can Toggle Buttons be added to a Window? Looks like they are only available on a Toolbar.

Thanks for these suggestions. I’ve implemented all three for the next release:

Symbol selection: Segmented buttons on windows and toolbars now use the same searchable, visual symbol picker as regular buttons.
Images: Segments can now display custom images. You can choose a project image asset in the item editor or assign a Picture in code using SetSegmentIcon.
Toggle buttons on windows: I’ve added a standalone ToggleButton control to the Control Library. Its Pressed property holds the on/off state, and PressedChanged fires when that state changes. It supports captions, symbols and custom images.

I’ve also updated the segmented-button APIs to use segment terminology, including AddSegment, SegmentSymbolAt and SetSegmentSymbol. The old row-named methods remain available as deprecated aliases, so existing code continues to work.
