ButtonGroup types

Outline ButtonGroup

An Outline ButtonGroup has a border with transparent background. To create an Outline ButtonGroup, e-outline class should be added to the target element and also add e-outline and e-btn class to each button elements.

The following sample illustrates how to achieve an Outline ButtonGroup.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>EJ2 Button-Group</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls" />

    <script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <div id='loader'>LOADING....</div>
    <div id='container'>
        <div class='e-btn-group e-outline'>
            <button class='e-btn e-outline'>HTML</button>
            <button class='e-btn e-outline'>CSS</button>
            <button class='e-btn e-outline'>Javascript</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

</html>
#container {
    visibility: hidden;
}

#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 45%;
  width: 30%;
}
.e-btn-group {
  margin: 25px 5px 20px 20px;
}

ButtonGroup does not have support for flat and round types.

ButtonGroup styles

The Essential JS 2 ButtonGroup has the following predefined styles. This can be achieved by adding corresponding class name in each button elements.

Class Description
e-primary Used to represent a primary action.
e-success Used to represent a positive action.
e-info Used to represent an informative action.
e-warning Used to represent an action with caution.
e-danger Used to represent a negative action.

The following example illustrates how to achieve predefined styles in ButtonGroup.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>EJ2 Button-Group</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta name="description" content="Typescript UI Controls" />
    <meta name="author" content="Syncfusion" />
    <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.2.2/ej2-base/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.2.2/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.2.2/ej2-popups/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.2.2/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/systemjs/0.19.38/system.js"></script>
    <script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <div id='loader'>LOADING....</div>
    <div id='container'>
        <div class='e-btn-group'>
            <button class='e-btn e-info'>View</button>
            <button class='e-btn'>Edit</button>
            <button class='e-btn e-danger'>Delete</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

</html>
#container {
    visibility: hidden;
}

#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 45%;
  width: 30%;
}
.e-btn-group {
  margin: 25px 5px 20px 20px;
}

Predefined ButtonGroup styles provide only the visual indication. So, ButtonGroup content should define the ButtonGroup style for the users of assistive technologies such as screen readers.
