Primary Action Button
RadButton can be a Primary Action Button (Figure 1). This feature is built-in as of Q1 2016. For older versions, see the Older Versions section.
The primary action button on the form has bright and saturated colors to pop up more and catch attention easily. You should use a primary action button to make the default/preferred/main/safe operation on the form stand out. At this point the rest of the buttons with their default appearance become Secondary Action buttons and do not draw as much attention.
Figure 1: Primary RadButton next to a default RadButton.
To switch to a primary action button, set the Primary property of the RadButton control to true and its RenderMode property to Lightweight (Example 1). The property defaults to false to result in the regular (secondary) button appearance for most cases.
Example 1: Configure a RadButton to be a primary action button.
<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton1" Primary="true" Text="Primary Button" RenderMode="Lightweight"></telerik:RadButton>
<telerik:RadButton runat="server" ID="RadButton2" Text="Default Button" RenderMode="Lightweight"></telerik:RadButton>
Older Versions
To configure a RadButton as a primary action button in a version prior to Q1 2016, you should set its CssClass property to rbPrimaryButton (Example 2). This appearance, however, is only available for the Silk, Glow and Bootstrap skins.
