Overview
The WPF Button is an advanced control that offers features such as checkable support, multiline support, image size options, different button size modes, and icon templates. A split button and dropdown button are extended from the WPF Button with different characteristics to meet different application needs. The Button control is compatible with the MVVM design pattern.
WPF Image Button
The advanced WPF button supports images along with text. With checkable support, the button control imitates the check box functionality and resembles toggle button with different states.
Dropdown button
The WPF dropdown button provides advanced menu-like appearance to the button UI. When the arrow is clicked, it displays a dropdown list for selection. Other features of the dropdown menu and its items include boundary detection, title text, icon setting, check selection, etc.
Split button
The split button is a combination of a button and a menu control. The button itself provides a default selection or when the arrow is clicked, displays a dropdown list for other possible selections.
Different button sizes
The WPF button comes in different sizes like small, normal, and large.
Small Button
In a small size button, only a small image representing the purpose of the button will be displayed. There will be no text.
Normal Button
In a normal size button, a small image with the text on the side will be displayed.
Large Button
In a large size button, a large image along with the text at the bottom will be displayed.

Different image sizes
The WPF button image can be set in small and large sizes. Apart from the predefined sizes, the size of the image can also be set manually using height and width settings.
Command binding
The WPF button control facilitates command binding support that is best suited to the MVVM approach. Predefined commands such as cut, copy, paste, etc. can be accommodated.
Displaying multiline content
In large buttons, text can be displayed in multiple lines based on the length of the content for better user experience.
Toggle State
When the IsCheckable property is set to true, the button control can also be used as a toggle button, similar to the on/off view. The default value of this property is false.
