# `Button`
The `GtkButton` widget is generally used to trigger a callback function that is
called when the button is pressed.
![An example GtkButton](button.png)
The `GtkButton` widget can hold any valid child widget. That is, it can hold
almost any other standard `GtkWidget`. The most commonly used child is the
`GtkLabel`.
# CSS nodes
`GtkButton` has a single CSS node with name button. The node will get the
style classes .image-button or .text-button, if the content is just an
image or label, respectively. It may also receive the .flat style class.
When activating a button via the keyboard, the button will temporarily
gain the .keyboard-activating style class.
Other style classes that are commonly used with `GtkButton` include
.suggested-action and .destructive-action. In special cases, buttons
can be made round by adding the .circular style class.
Button-like widgets like [class@Gtk.ToggleButton], [class@Gtk.MenuButton],
[class@Gtk.VolumeButton], [class@Gtk.LockButton], [class@Gtk.ColorButton]
or [class@Gtk.FontButton] use style classes such as .toggle, .popup, .scale,
.lock, .color on the button node to differentiate themselves from a plain
`GtkButton`.
