Notes

fa-info-circle-32.png
On macOS, BevelButton is not a native control and does not automatically change its appearance in dark mode.

A BevelButton can display a graphic, a label (caption), or both.

The "No Bevel" option for the BevelStyle property is functional only on Microsoft Windows. On platforms with cursor, the button appears to have no border until the cursor enters the bounds of the BevelButton control. Then the outline of the button appears. On non-Windows systems, the "No Bevel" option has the same appearance of "Small Bevel."

Sample Code

The following code places an icon in the BevelButton, aligns it, and specifies the position of the caption. The graphic, "DatabaseQueryIcon," has been added to the project.

Me.Icon = DatabaseQueryIcon
Me.IconAlignment = BevelButton.IconAlignments.TopLeft
Me.CaptionAlignment = BevelButton.CaptionAlignments.Left
Me.CaptionPosition = BevelButton.CaptionPositions.RightOfIcon
Me.IconDeltaX = 2
Me.IconDeltaY = 1

The following code creates a bevel button menu.

Me.Caption = "Month"
Me.CaptionAlignment = BevelButton.CaptionAlignments.Left
Me.MenuStyle = BevelButton.MenuStyles.Right

Var months() As String = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", _
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December")

For Each m As String In months
Me.Menu.AddMenu(New MenuItem(m))
Next

The following line of code in the BevelButton's MenuSelected event handler sets the BevelButton caption to the value that the user selects:

Me.Caption = SelectedItem.Value
