Simplifying development using simplified properties.

The SRP Button Control recognizes certain tasks that are often tedious to perform in OpenInsight.

Status Bar Support

The SRP StatusBar Control can automatically display status text for each SRP Button Control without requiring the developer to do the wiring. The first step is to add pane to the SRP StatusBar Control whose PaneType property is "SRP Status." Then, set the SRP Button Control's StatusBarText property. The text supplied to this property will automatically appear in the SRP StatusBar Control when the user hovers over the button.

ToolTips

It has become common for buttons to display tooltips when the user rests the mouse over the button for a short period of time. Usually, the tooltip displays more details on the button's function. To add tooltips, set the ToolTip property.

Drop Down Menus

In order to consolidate space, the SRP Button Control supports the ability to display a menu (instead of firing the OnClick event). When the user selects a menu item, the OnContextMenu event is fired instead. To use drop down menus, set the control's ContextMenu property.
