Button Group

The Telerik UI for Blazor ButtonGroup component serves as a container managing several buttons with shared purpose. The main use case for it is linking buttons with a shared purpose – for example you can have a button group for text alignment and 3 buttons to align the text to the left, right or center. The group can be configured to support single or multi-element selection which makes the button in it act as if they were radio buttons or checkboxes respectively.

As mentioned, the ButtonGroup component can be setup in 2 different modes:

• In single element selection, clicking a button makes it selected. Clicking any other button will deselect the first one and select the clicked button.
• In multi element selection, clicking a button selects it. Clicking any other button will select it without altering the first one. The user can deselect the initial button by clicking on it a second time.

Two events are fired on buttons in a ButtonGroup – SelectedChanged and OnClick. One is triggered when the corresponding toggle button changes its state, the latter is called on any button when it’s clicked. Note that changing the state of the button may happen because of several different reasons – it was clicked, through a keyboard shortcut or another button in the same single-selection group was selected.

Like all other Telerik UI for Blazor components, the ToggleButton component supports out of the box Keyboard Navigation and web accessibility standards implementation. This enables easy navigation through pages using just keyboard, as well as access to component content through assistive technologies.

The Telerik Blazor ButtonGroup component has several built-in themes such as Default (our own styling), Material (based on the Material Design guidelines) and Bootstrap (which looks like the Bootstrap styling to integrate better). You can easily customize any of out-of-the-box themes, style specific component or create new theme using the Telerik Saas ThemeBuilder application.
