# Button Control in VB.Net

Button class in [Windows](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12793/insightful-review-of-stellar-phoenix-windows-data-recovery-home-edition) Forms represents a [Button control](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/391/button-control-in-c-sharp-dot-net). Whenever [button clicks](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158690/how-can-you-handle-user-interactions-such-as-button-clicks-using-jquery), the Click [event handler](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/1371/c-sharp-dot-net-event-handler-delegate-question) is invoked. You can place code in the [Click event](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/424/how-to-call-form_paint-event-on-button-click-event) handler to perform any action you choose.\

[Drag and drop](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/454/how-to-drag-and-drop-multiple-image-from-one-canvas-to-onther-canvas-in-html5) Button control from toolbox on windows form.

**Designating a [Button as](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/32548/do-you-ever-use-the-favorite-button-as-a-bookmark-on-twitter) the Cancel Button.**

On Windows Form you can designate a Button control to be the cancel button. A cancel [button is clicked](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94813/why-does-my-app-terminate-when-the-button-is-clicked-on-android-studio) whenever the user presses the ESC key.

```
Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load               'set button1 as cancell button        Me.CancelButton = Button1 End SubPrivate Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click        Me.Close()'close window Form End Sub
```

**Output:**
