    public abstract class CustomButton

extends ButtonBase

CustomButton is a base button class with built in support for a set number of button faces. Each face has its own style modifier. For example, the state for down and hovering is assigned the CSS modifier down-hovering. So, if the button's overall style name is gwt-PushButton then when showing the `down-hovering` face, the button's style is gwt-PushButton-down-hovering. The overall style name can be used to change the style of the button irrespective of the current face.

Each button face can be assigned is own image, text, or html contents. If no content is defined for a face, then the face will use the contents of another face. For example, if `down-hovering` does not have defined contents, it will use the contents defined by the `down` face.

The supported faces are defined below:

CSS style name | Getter method | description of face | defaults to contents of face
up | `getUpFace()` | face shown when button is up | none
down | `getDownFace()` | face shown when button is down | up
up-hovering | `getUpHoveringFace()` | face shown when button is up and hovering | up
up-disabled | `getUpDisabledFace()` | face shown when button is up and disabled | up
down-hovering | `getDownHoveringFace()` | face shown when button is down and hovering | down
down-disabled | `getDownDisabledFace()` | face shown when button is down and disabled | down

### Use in UiBinder Templates

When working with CustomButton subclasses in `UiBinder` templates, you can set text and assign ImageResources for their various faces via child elements:

<g:upFace>
<g:downFace>
<g:upHoveringFace>
<g:downHoveringFace>
<g:upDisabledFace>
<g:downDisabledFace>

Each face element can take an optional `image` attribute and an html body. For example:

     <ui:image field='downButton'/> <!-- define an ImageResource -->

     <g:PushButton ui:field='pushButton' enabled='true'>
       <g:upFace>
         <b>click me</b>
       </gwt:upFace>
       <g:upHoveringFace>
         <b>Click ME!</b>
       </gwt:upHoveringFace>

       <g:downFace image='{downButton}'/>
       <g:downHoveringFace image='{downButton}'/>
     </g:PushButton>

### onBrowserEvent

    public void onBrowserEvent(Event event)

  Description copied from interface: `EventListener`
  Fired whenever a browser event is received.

  Specified by:
    `onBrowserEvent` in interface `EventListener`
  Overrides:
    `onBrowserEvent` in class `Widget`
  Parameters:
    `event` - the event received

### setAccessKey

    public void setAccessKey(char key)

  Description copied from interface: `Focusable`
  Sets the widget's 'access key'. This key is used (in conjunction with a browser-specific modifier key) to automatically focus the widget.

  Specified by:
    `setAccessKey` in interface `Focusable`
  Overrides:
    `setAccessKey` in class `FocusWidget`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the widget's access key

### setEnabled

    public final void setEnabled(boolean enabled)

  Sets whether this button is enabled.

  Specified by:
    `setEnabled` in interface `HasEnabled`
  Overrides:
    `setEnabled` in class `FocusWidget`
  Parameters:
    `enabled` - `true` to enable the button, `false` to disable it

### setFocus

    public void setFocus(boolean focused)

  Description copied from interface: `Focusable`
  Explicitly focus/unfocus this widget. Only one widget can have focus at a time, and the widget that does will receive all keyboard events.

  Specified by:
    `setFocus` in interface `Focusable`
  Overrides:
    `setFocus` in class `FocusWidget`
  Parameters:
    `focused` - whether this widget should take focus or release it

### setHTML

    public void setHTML(SafeHtml html)

  Description copied from interface: `HasSafeHtml`
  Sets this object's contents via known-safe HTML.

  The object will behave exactly the same as when a widget's `HasHTML.setHTML(String)` method is invoked; however the `SafeHtml` passed to this method observes the contract that it can be used in an HTML context without causing unsafe script execution. Thus, unlike `HasHTML.setHTML(String)`, using this method cannot result in Cross-Site Scripting security vulnerabilities.

  Specified by:
    `setHTML` in interface `HasSafeHtml`
  Overrides:
    `setHTML` in class `ButtonBase`
  Parameters:
    `html` - the object's new HTML, represented as a `SafeHtml` object

### setHTML

    public void setHTML(java.lang.String html)

  Sets the current face's html.

  Specified by:
    `setHTML` in interface `HasHTML`
  Overrides:
    `setHTML` in class `ButtonBase`
  Parameters:
    `html` - html to set

### setTabIndex

    public void setTabIndex(int index)

  Description copied from interface: `Focusable`
  Sets the widget's position in the tab index. If more than one widget has the same tab index, each such widget will receive focus in an arbitrary order. Setting the tab index to `-1` will cause this widget to be removed from the tab order.

  Specified by:
    `setTabIndex` in interface `Focusable`
  Overrides:
    `setTabIndex` in class `FocusWidget`
  Parameters:
    `index` - the widget's tab index

### setText

    public void setText(java.lang.String text)

  Sets the current face's text.

  Specified by:
    `setText` in interface `HasText`
  Overrides:
    `setText` in class `ButtonBase`
  Parameters:
    `text` - text to set

### isDown

    protected boolean isDown()

  Is this button down?

  Returns:
    `true` if the button is down

### onAttach

    protected void onAttach()

  Overridden on attach to ensure that a button face has been chosen before the button is displayed.

  Overrides:
    `onAttach` in class `FocusWidget`
  See Also:
    `Widget.onLoad()`, `Widget.doAttachChildren()`

### onClick

    protected void onClick()

  Called when the user finishes clicking on this button. The default behavior is to fire the click event to listeners. Subclasses that override `onClickStart()` should override this method to restore the normal widget display.

### onClickCancel

    protected void onClickCancel()

  Called when the user aborts a click in progress; for example, by dragging the mouse outside of the button before releasing the mouse button. Subclasses that override `onClickStart()` should override this method to restore the normal widget display.

### onClickStart

    protected void onClickStart()

  Called when the user begins to click on this button. Subclasses may override this method to display the start of the click visually; such subclasses should also override `onClick()` and `onClickCancel()` to restore normal visual state. Each `onClickStart` will eventually be followed by either `onClick` or `onClickCancel`, depending on whether the click is completed.

### onDetach

    protected void onDetach()

  Description copied from class: `Widget`

  This method is called when a widget is detached from the browser's document. To receive notification before a Widget is removed from the document, override the `Widget.onUnload()` method or use `Widget.addAttachHandler(com.google.gwt.event.logical.shared.AttachEvent.Handler)`.

  It is strongly recommended that you override `Widget.onUnload()` or `Widget.doDetachChildren()` instead of this method to avoid inconsistencies between logical and physical attachment states.

  Subclasses that override this method must call `super.onDetach()` to ensure that the Widget has been detached from the underlying Element. Failure to do so will result in application memory leaks due to circular references between DOM Elements and JavaScript objects.

  Overrides:
    `onDetach` in class `Widget`
  See Also:
    `Widget.onUnload()`, `Widget.doDetachChildren()`

### setDown

    protected void setDown(boolean down)

  Sets whether this button is down.

  Parameters:
    `down` - `true` to press the button, `false` otherwise

### finishSetup

    void finishSetup()

  Common setup between constructors.

### fireClickListeners

    void fireClickListeners(Event nativeEvent)

### getCurrentFace

    CustomButton.Face getCurrentFace()

  Gets the current face of the button.

  Returns:
    the current face

### isHovering

    final boolean isHovering()

  Is the mouse hovering over this button?

  Returns:
    `true` if the mouse is hovering

### setCurrentFace

    void setCurrentFace(CustomButton.Face newFace)

### setHovering

    final void setHovering(boolean hovering)

  Sets whether this button is hovering.

  Parameters:
    `hovering` - is this button hovering?

### toggleDown

    void toggleDown()

  Toggle the up/down attribute.
