extends ButtonBase

Custom Button 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

### isDown

    protected boolean isDown()

  Is this button 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 `Widget`

### 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.

  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`

### setDown

    protected void setDown(boolean down)

  Sets whether this button is down.

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