<p id="610410" class="block-content"><tt>TActiveButton</tt> is the active control counter part to
<a href="?page=Controls.Button">TButton</a>.
When a <tt>TActiveButton</tt> is clicked, rather than a normal post back request a
callback request is initiated. The <tt>OnCallback</tt> event is raised
during a callback request and it is raise <strong>after</strong>
the <tt>OnClick</tt> event.
</p>
<p id="610411" class="block-content">When the <tt>ActiveControl.EnableUpdate</tt> property is true,
changing the <tt>Text</tt> property during a callback request will update
the button's caption on the client-side.</p>
<p id="610412" class="block-content">Since the <tt>OnCallback</tt> event is raised only during a callback request,
the <tt>OnCallback</tt> event handler can be used to handle logic specifically
related to callback requests. The <tt>OnClick</tt> event handler is raised
when ever the button is clicked, even if javascript is disabled.</p>
<p id="610413" class="block-content">The following example the use of both the <tt>OnClick</tt> and <tt>OnCallback</tt>
events of an <tt>TActiveButton</tt>.</p>

<h2 id="122027">TActiveButton Class Diagram</h2>
<p id="610414" class="block-content">The class diagram for <tt>TActiveButton</tt> is illustrated in the figure below.
Most active control that can perform callback request have a similar structure.

<p id="610415" class="block-content"><tt>TActiveButton</tt> is an extension of <a href="?page=Controls.Button">TButton</a>
and implements two additional interfaces <tt>ICallbackEventHandler</tt> and
<tt>IActiveControl</tt>. The <tt>TActiveButton</tt> contains an instance of
<a href="?page=ActiveControls.BaseActiveControl">TBaseActiveCallbackControl</a>
available through the <tt>ActiveControl</tt> property of <tt>TActiveButton</tt>.
The following example set the callback parameter of the <tt>TActiveButton</tt> when
a callback request is dispatched.
</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="prado" CssClass="source block-content" id="code1">
<com:TActiveButton
Text="Click Me"
OnCallback="button_callback"
ActiveControl.CallbackParameter="value" />
</com:TTextHighlighter>
<p id="610416" class="block-content">In the <tt>OnCallback</tt> event handler method, the <tt>CallbackParameter</tt>
is available in the <tt>$param</tt> object.</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="php" CssClass="source block-content" id="code2">
public function button_callback($sender, $param)
{
echo $param->CallbackParameter; //outputs "value"
}

<h2 id="122028">Adding Client Side Behaviour</h2>
<p id="610417" class="block-content">With in the <tt>ActiveControl</tt> property is an instance of
<a href="?page=ActiveControls.CallbackClientSide">TCallbackClientSide</a> available
as a property <tt>ClientSide</tt> of <tt>TActiveButton</tt>.
The <tt>ClientSide</tt> property contains sub-properties, such as <tt>RequestTimeOut</tt>,
and client-side javascript event handler, such as <tt>OnLoading</tt>,
that are used by the client-side when making a callback request.
The following example demonstrates the toggling of a "loading" indicator
when the client-side is making a callback request.
</p>
<com:TTextHighlighter Language="prado" CssClass="source block-content" id="code3">
<com:TClientSide PradoScripts="effects" />
<span id="callback_status">Loading...</span>
<com:TActiveButton
Text="Click Me"
OnCallback="button_callback"
ActiveControl.CallbackParameter="value" >
<prop:ClientSide
OnLoading="Element.show('callback_status')"
OnComplete="Element.hide('callback_status')" />
</com:TActiveButton>
</com:TTextHighlighter>
<p id="610418" class="block-content">The example loads the "effects" javascript library using the
<a href="?page=Controls.ClientScript">TClientScript</a> component.
The <tt>ClientSide.OnLoading</tt> property value contains
javascript statement that uses the "effects" library to show the "Loading..."
span tag. Similarly, <tt>ClientSide.OnComplete</tt> property
value contains the javascript statement that hides the "Loading..." span tag.
See <a href="?page=ActiveControls.CallbackClientSide">TCallbackClientSide</a> for
further details on client-side property details.
