Icon ToggleButton
The ToggleButton can accommodate an icon which enhances the meaning of the text content.
The ToggleButton provides the following methods for configuring icons:
-
icon—Defines a name of an existing icon in the Kendo UI theme sprite. -
spriteCssClass—Defines a CSS class (or multiple classes separated by spaces), which will be used for applying a background image to a span element inside the ToggleButton. -
imageUrl—Defines a URL, which will be used for animgelement inside the ToggleButton. -
iconClass—Defines a CSS class or multiple classes which are applied to a span element inside the ToggleButton.
Use only one of them with a particular ToggleButton instance. If you define multiple properties, only one of them will be obeyed according to the order stated above.
Icon
The icon configuration displays the appropriate SVG Icon as a content of a <span> pseudo element. The ToggleButton enables you to completely omit any text to be specified for its contents.
<button id="button" type="button">Cancel</button>
<script>
$("#button").kendoButton({
icon: "cancel"
});
</script>
IconClass
Alternatively to the icon configuration, you can use the iconClass configuration to set a custom icon. It accepts a CSS class (or multiple space-separated CSS classes).
<link href="https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<button id="button" type="button"></button>
<script>
$("#button").kendoButton({
icon: "fa fa-magic"
});
</script>
SpriteClass
The spriteCssClass configuration displays the icon as a background of a span element instead.
<button id="button" type="button">Edit</button>
<script>
$("#button").kendoButton({
spriteCssClass: "myEditIcon"
});
</script>
ImageIcons
Image icons are applied by using the imageUrl configuration and are displayed as an img element.
<button id="button" type="button">
<img class="k-image" alt="Edit" /> Edit
</button>
<script>
$("#button").kendoButton({
imageUrl: "/images/edit-icon.gif"
});
</script>
