Example 2: Adding Render Control to a Button

This example uses if/else statements to control the display text of the button.

// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct SwipeGestureExample {
  @State count: number = 0

  build() {
    Column() {
      Text(`${this.count}`)
        .fontSize(30)
        .onClick(() => {
          this.count++
        })
      if (this.count <= 0) {
        Button('count is negative').fontSize(30).height(50)
      } else if (this.count % 2 === 0) {
        Button('count is even').fontSize(30).height(50)
      } else {
        Button('count is odd').fontSize(30).height(50)
      }
    }.height('100%').width('100%').justifyContent(FlexAlign.Center)
  }
}

Example 3: Setting the Button Text Style

This example customizes the display style of button text by configuring labelStyle.

// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct buttonTestDemo {
  @State txt: string = 'overflowTextOverlengthTextOverflow.Clip';
  @State widthShortSize: number = 210;

  build() {
    Row() {
      Column() {
        Button(this.txt)
          .width(this.widthShortSize)
          .height(100)
          .backgroundColor(0x317aff)
          .labelStyle({ overflow: TextOverflow.Clip,
            maxLines: 1,
            minFontSize: 20,
            maxFontSize: 20,
            font: {
              size: 20,
              weight: FontWeight.Bolder,
              family: 'cursive',
              style: FontStyle.Italic

    Circle({ width: 50, height: 50 })
      .fill(config.pressed ? (config.contentModifier as MyButtonStyle).selectedColor : Color.Black)
      .gesture(
