Position

It defines the label's position. There are the following options:

Top: The label is positioned above the button.

Left: The label is positioned to the left of the button.

Inside: The label is positioned inside the button, usually centered.

Width

Auto

When enabled, it defines the label's width automatically.

Preview

It is available only when you link an object to the button. Preview options control the preview of the label content or data bindings. These options indicate the data linked to the button.

Linked tag: Displays the object path of a linked tag, such as "Tag.Temperature.Value".

Whitespace: Shows a white space as a placeholder.

Placeholder: Displays the symbol "#" as a placeholder.

Format

It is available only when you link an object to the button. It allows to define an expression to format the selected label. For example:

User: {Client.CurrentUser.Name.ToString().ToUpper()}


Dynamics

Usually, configuring Graphic Elements also involves defining Dynamics for them. A dynamic defines how graphic elements respond to user inputs and other events, including handling clicks, updating displays in real-time, and dynamic data visualization. Refer to Dynamics and UI Elements for more information.


Runtime Execution

When users click a button, the application executes the associated command or action immediately. The button provides visual feedback, such as changing color or appearance, to indicate it has been pressed. This triggers event handlers in the solution, which carry out the designated operation, such as starting a machine, submitting data, or opening a new interface.
