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.

    <meta charset="utf-8">

</head>

<body>
    
    <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>


<script>
var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</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.

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

<body>
    
    <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>


<script>
var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</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.
