'''TokenNames common to most controls, such as x,y,w,h,text,idc... are not listed here. '''


Buttons are one way to add interactivity to your dialogs. Their corresponding ''type'' property is <tt>CT_BUTTON</tt>.
* [[CT_BUTTON]]
 
* [[CT_SHORTCUTBUTTON]]
Buttons can have different states (see screenshot) and will render slightly different to give the user a visual feedback on the button's state:
* [[CT_ACTIVETEXT]]
* '''Enabled''': the button has not been [[ctrlEnable|disabled]], it currently doesn't have any mouse or keyboard related focus
* '''Disabled''': the button has been explicitly disabled. It will not be clickable.
* '''Enabled''' + '''Focused''': As enabled; additionally it will have a small border of the color defined in the ''colorFocused'' property. This occurs when the button currently has focus (ie. is the default button or has been selected via the ''Tab'' key).
* '''Enabled''' + '''Active''': As enabled; additionally it will have a different background as specified in the ''colorBackgroundActive'' background. This occurs when the mouse is currently hovering over an unfocused button.
* '''Enabled''' + '''Active''' + '''Focused''': The combined result of the above two states. The mouse is currently hovering over the button in question and it has input focus.
 
Button can also have code attached to it in the ''action'' property. This code will be run when the button is clicked. Most often, you will have at least one button that closes the dialog via [[closeDialog]]. In this case you can provide ''0'' as the right-side parameter to close the currently open dialog.
 
===Reserved IDC's===
 
The engine reserves:
IDC=1 for (contextually) OK, or CONTINUE
IDC=2 for (contextually) CANCEL, ESCAPE, ABORT
 
If you use these idc values, no action, no script, no event handler will operate on them.

==CT_ACTIVETEXT=11==
 
The Active Text control behaves very similar to buttons. It shows up as regular text with the additional functionality that you can click and select it. The dialog's currently selected Active Text control will be underlined to indicate it's status. By default, the first Active Text control is selected. When the mouse cursor hovers over an instance of this control, it will show up in the color defined in the ''colorActive'' property.
 
'''Notice:''' This control doesn't render the usually common ''colorBackground'' property and ''colorText'' is replaced with ''color''.
*For Arrohead, this is not true. The properties are there, and it might be an attempt to standardise, or to account for pictures
