class ButtonBar
package feathers.controls
extends FeathersControl › MeasureSprite › ValidatingSprite
A grouping of buttons.
The following example sets the data provider, tells the buttons how to interpret the data, and listens for when a button is triggered:
var buttonBar = new ButtonBar();
buttonBar.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection([
{ text: "Latest Posts" },
{ text: "Profile" },
{ text: "Settings" }
]);
buttonBar.itemToText = (item:Dynamic) -> {
return item.text;
};
buttonBar.addEventListener(ButtonBarEvent.ITEM_TRIGGER, buttons_itemTriggerHandler);
this.addChild(buttonBar);Events:
feathers.events.ButtonBarEvent.ITEM_TRIGGER | Dispatched when the user taps or clicks a button. The pointer must remain within the bounds of the tab on release, or the gesture will be ignored. |

To override this default variant, set the
ButtonBar.customButtonVariant property.

Constructor
new(?dataProvider:IFlatCollection<Dynamic>, ?itemTriggerListener:ButtonBarEvent ‑> Void)
Creates a new ButtonBar object.

.Variables
backgroundSkin:DisplayObject
The default background skin to display behind the buttons.
The following example passes a bitmap for the button bar to use as a background skin:
buttonBar.backgroundSkin = new Bitmap(bitmapData);1.0.0
.See also:
buttonRecycler:AbstractDisplayObjectRecycler<Dynamic, ButtonBarItemState, Button>
Manages buttons used by the button bar.
In the following example, the button bar uses a custom button renderer class:
buttonBar.buttonRecycler = DisplayObjectRecycler.withClass(Button);1.0.0
.customButtonVariant:String
A custom variant to set on all buttons, instead of
ButtonBar.CHILD_VARIANT_BUTTON.
The customButtonVariant will be not be used if the result of
buttonRecycler.create() already has a variant set.
1.0.0
.See also:
dataProvider:IFlatCollection<Dynamic>
The collection of data displayed by the button bar.
Items in the collection must be class instances or anonymous structures. Do not add primitive values (such as strings, booleans, or numeric values) directly to the collection.
Additionally, all items in the collection must be unique object instances. Do not add the same instance to the collection more than once because a runtime exception will be thrown.
The following example passes in a data provider and tells the buttons how to interpret the data:
buttonBar.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection([
{ text: "Latest Posts" },
{ text: "Profile" },
{ text: "Settings" }
]);
buttonBar.itemToText = (item:Dynamic) -> {
return item.text;
};1.0.0
.See also:
disabledBackgroundSkin:DisplayObject
A background skin to display behind the buttons when the button bar is disabled.
The following example gives the button bar a disabled background skin:
buttonBar.disabledBackgroundSkin = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
buttonBar.enabled = false;1.0.0
.See also:
layout:ILayout
The layout algorithm used to position and size the buttons.
By default, if no layout is provided by the time that the button bar initializes, a default layout that displays items horizontally will be created.
The following example tells the button bar to use a custom layout:
var layout = new HorizontalDistributedLayout();
layout.maxItemWidth = 300.0;
buttonBar.layout = layout;1.0.0
.buttonRecyclerIDFunction:(state:ButtonBarItemState) ‑> String
When a button bar requires multiple button styles, this function is used
to determine which style of button is required for a specific item.
Returns the ID of the button recycler to use for the item, or null if
the default buttonRecycler should be used.
The following example provides an buttonRecyclerIDFunction:
var regularButtonRecycler = DisplayObjectRecycler.withClass(Button);
var firstButtonRecycler = DisplayObjectRecycler.withClass(MyCustomButton);
buttonBar.setButtonRecycler("regular-button", regularButtonRecycler);
buttonBar.setButtonRecycler("first-button", firstButtonRecycler);
buttonBar.buttonRecyclerIDFunction = function(state:ButtonBarItemState):String {
if(state.index == 0) {
return "first-button";
}
return "regular-button";
};1.0.0

Methods
getButtonRecycler(id:String):DisplayObjectRecycler<Dynamic, ButtonBarItemState, Button>
Returns the button recycler associated with a specific ID. Returns
null if no recycler is associated with the ID.
1.0.0
.See also:
indexToButton(index:Int):Button
Returns the current button used to render the item at the specified
index in the data provider. May return null if an item doesn't
currently have a button.
1.0.0
.itemToButton(item:Dynamic):Button
Returns the current button used to render a specific item from the data
provider. May return null if an item doesn't currently have a button.
1.0.0
.dynamicitemToText(data:Dynamic):String
Converts an item to text to display within button bar. By default, the
toString() method is called to convert an item to text. This method
may be replaced to provide custom text.
For example, consider the following item:
{ text: "Example Item" }If the ButtonBar should display the text "Example Item", a custom
implementation of itemToText() might look like this:
buttonBar.itemToText = (item:Dynamic) -> {
return item.text;
};1.0.0
.setButtonRecycler(id:String, recycler:AbstractDisplayObjectRecycler<Dynamic, ButtonBarItemState, Button>):Void
Associates an button recycler with an ID to allow multiple types
of buttons to be displayed in the button bar. A custom
buttonRecyclerIDFunction may be specified to return the ID of the
recycler to use for a specific item in the data provider.
To clear a recycler, pass in null as the value.
