Suggestion for a custom component: IconButton

It would be fantastic if someone (@vladimir-upirov?) could do an IconButton as a custom component so us Backendless newbies could see how this is done.

How to set it up with a customizable icon that can be changed in UI-Builder, along with properties that can be changed in UI-Builder as well. (Such as selecting the icon to use, icon margins, and caption margins, etc…)

Maybe this could be available in the Backendless Marketplace so it could be downloaded and used in a project so we could see what’s going on to make it tick.

Yes, I saw Vlad’s very helpful Office Hours Episode on custom components, but a more complex, more useful example would be great! :slight_smile:

Even exposing the internal controls (like the button) so the Backendless user can view how a simple button works would be great. That way, you can base a new custom control on an existing button control to start with, and modify it to meet your needs.

Hello @Michael_Kadron ,

Thank you for the suggestion. An internal ticket BKNDLSS-29916 has been created, we will see what we can do and let you know as soon as we find a solution.

Hello @Michael_Kadron ,

We’ve released the new version of Backendless.
The ‘Icon Button’ UI component is already available in UI Builder.
