Rectangle¶
Applications
Typically used to define a background of other objects (for example a panel), to graphically group relevant objects, or to create custom buttons.
Configuring the object
Create a custom button
It is possible to make customized buttons with a Rectangle object and other graphical objects, such as a Label object and an Image object. Below is an example:
- Create a Rectangle object and add the following objects inside:
Label: enter the desired text in its Text property and set the position with respect to the rectangle.
Image: in its Path property point to the desired image, usually an icon, and set the position relative to the rectangle.
In the rectangle properties, set Visible on click to True.
Associate the method to execute on click with the MouseUp Event rectangle event.

| Height | Height |
Height of the window. It can assume values greater than or equal to zero. The Auto value sets the height equal to the height of the content (in this case, in the absence of content the object collapses).

Alignment of the object on the horizontal axis. Left = the left side is positioned on the left side of the container, except for the left margin; Right = the right side is positioned on the right side of the container, except for the right margin; Center = the center of the object is positioned in the center of the container, except for the left and/or right margins; Stretch = object width equals container width, except for the left and/or right margins.
