Content

No child content is accepted in a button.

button creates a slider-bar type widget.
//TODO add an image
//TODO describe how to fire code on a button press

The selected property is not very interesting for the Button class, as it is not user changeable. This is mostly a leaky abstraction for checkBox and radioButton

Examples

This will run as a Groovy script.

//TBD further examples for icon related behaviour
