Introduction to Tink Widget: Icon Button

We have started with the Introduction to Tink Widget Series and seen the Icon widget in detail. Let’s check out the IconButton widget now…

An IconButton widget consists of an Icon button as a parent widget with an Icon as a child widget.

Change the properties of both these widgets by selecting them from the left hand side navigation panel.

IconButton1

An Icon is a Basic widget that is visible across various kinds of applications. Please check Icon properties here.

Place an Icon from Hypi Tink’s Icon Collection and set its properties as per your requirements.

Let’s proceed to IconButton properties!

Set the colors for various states of the button using the following properties.

IconButton2

  • Set the Button color using the Color property.
  • When the Button gets the Focus through the Keyboard, it gets the Focus color.
  • Hovering the mouse over the Button changes the color of the Button to Hover color.
  • Pressing down the button gets highlighted with a Highlight color.
  • Splash color is the color of the ripple effect that shows up around the border of the button when the button is pressed.
  • When the button gets disabled, it gets Disabled state color.

Set the Icon Size and Splash Radius from Size Properties. It sets the icon size and radius of the button around the icon. You can also set the minimum and maximum Width and Height of the button.

IconButton3

The Alignment places the widget at a certain position inside the parent widget boundaries. The Position can be Bottom Center, Bottom Left, Bottom Right, Center, Center Left, Center Right, Top Left, Top Right, Top Center, etc. Choose the Icon position inside the button appropriately.

IconButton4

Padding can be provided to the Button on all sides or top, left, bottom, and right edges. The value has to be provided in terms of physical pixels.

IconButton5

You can place IconButtons to navigate through pages or adjust the volume. Just play around and try to know more about the Icon Button widget.
