Property Value

Integer representing the index of the button

This property lets you track how often the user clicks a controls buttons and which buttons are clicked. When the user clicks a button, the button index (the value of the ButtonIndex property) increments or decrements, depending on which button is clicked.

The button index increases when the user clicks the up spin arrow, pop-up, or right slide button. The button index decreases when the user clicks the down spin arrow, drop-down, or left slide button.

You can limit the range of the button index by setting the ButtonMax and ButtonMin properties. When the button index reaches the value of the ButtonMax or ButtonMin properties, the button index may or may not be reset, depending on the setting of the ButtonWrap property. If the ButtonWrap property is set to true, the button index is reset or wrapped.

The button index is independent of the contents of the edit control. Use the button index to customize button behavior.

To create buttons for an edit control, set the ButtonStyle property to a value other than ButtonStyle.None.

This property is available at run time only.

This example shows the use of this property and setting of several other button-related properties.
