# ComponentTool Namespace: **Wisej.Web** Assembly: **Wisej.Framework** (2.2.0.0) * [Component](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.base/general/wisej.base.component) * [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) Represent a tool widget that can be displayed inside another control. A tool widget is different from other child controls: it's displayed inside the parent's layout. For example, the [Form](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/containers/form) control shows tool widgets inside the caption bar. When a tool widget is pressed, it fires the toolClicked event on the container. {% tabs %} {% tab title="C#" %} ```csharp public class ComponentTool : Component ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="VB.NET" %} ```visual-basic Public Class ComponentTool Inherits Component ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Constructors ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)ComponentTool() Initializes a new instance of the [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) class. ## Properties ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)AutoHide [Boolean](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.boolean): Returns or sets whether the [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) automatically hides itself when the host control loses the focus. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Control [Control](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/general/control): Returns the [Control](#control) that contains this [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) object. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Enabled [Boolean](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.boolean): Returns or sets whether the [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) is enabled. The tool can be forced enabled or disabled by assigning the [Enabled](#enabled) property. Use [ResetEnabled](#resetenabled) to reset this property to inherit from the container. If this property is not assigned, the tool will inherit the enabled state from the container [Control](#control). By assigning this property, you can force the tool to be enabled when the container is disabled and vice versa. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Image [Image](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.image): Returns or sets the image that is displayed in a [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) button. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)ImageSource [String](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string): Returns or sets the theme name or URL for the image to display in the [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) button. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Name [String](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string): Returns or sets the name to apply to the [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool). ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Position [LeftRightAlignment](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/enumerations/wisej.web.leftrightalignment): Returns or sets the horizontal alignment of this [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) within the parent's container. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Pushed [Boolean](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.boolean): Returns or sets whether a toggle-style [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) is currently in the pushed state. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)ToolTipText [String](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string): Returns or sets ToolTip text associated with the [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) button. ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Visible [Boolean](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.boolean): Returns or sets whether the [ComponentTool](https://docs.wisej.com/api/v2.2/wisej.web/editors/wisej.web.componenttool) is visible. ## Methods ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)ResetEnabled() Resets the [Enabled](#enabled) property to inherit the enabled state from the container [Control](#control). ### ![](https://1958722042-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTHCfAYyBPycFG90wsw-3433078682%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2389c55cd19719a73a5ae98e1528c8dc8525cc35%2Finstance.png?alt=media)Update() Updates the component on the client.
