Getting started with ASP.NET MVC Button Group control

This section briefly explains about how to include a simple ButtonGroup in your ASP.NET MVC application. You can refer ASP.NET MVC Getting Started documentation page for introduction part of the system requirements and configure the common specifications.

Add ButtonGroup to the project

To create simple ButtonGroup add the div tag with class name as e-btn-group and add Button component that should inside the div element in your Index.cshtml page.

<div class='e-btn-group'>
    @Html.EJS().Button("html").Content("HTML").Render()
    @Html.EJS().Button("css").Content("CSS").Render()
    @Html.EJS().Button("javacript").Content("Javascript").Render()
</div>

public ActionResult Index()
    {
            return View();
    }

Output be like the below.

Run the application

After successful compilation of your application, simply press F5 to run the application.

The following example shows a default rendering of ButtonGroup.

<div class='e-btn-group'>
    @Html.EJS().Button("html").Content("HTML").Render()
    @Html.EJS().Button("css").Content("CSS").Render()
    @Html.EJS().Button("javacript").Content("Javascript").Render()
</div>

public ActionResult Index()
    {
            return View();
    }

Orientation

ButtonGroup can be arranged in a vertical and horizontal orientation. By default, it is horizontally aligned.

Vertical Orientation

ButtonGroup can be aligned vertically by using the built-in CSS class e-vertical to the target element.

The following example illustrates how to achieve vertical orientation in ButtonGroup.

<div class='e-btn-group e-vertical'>
    @Html.EJS().Button("html").Content("HTML").Render()
    @Html.EJS().Button("css").Content("CSS").Render()
    @Html.EJS().Button("javacript").Content("Javascript").Render()
</div>

public ActionResult Index()
    {
            return View();
    }

ButtonGroup does not support SplitButton component nesting in a vertical orientation.
