Do buttons have focus?
A button will need to have a distinctive shape, and a correct use of color with enough contrast between background, fill and label. To make the user aware of their interactive character, buttons have different states: init, hover, active/tap, disabled and focus.
The following states are common CSS button states used in web development. Default: How the button looks when it isn’t being interacted with, but is available to be interacted with. This could also be called the ‘Normal’ state. Hover: The hover state is specific to web design as mobile devices don’t typically support a hover interaction.
How can I change the state of a button?
No elements of a group box must be changed, because users cannot select group boxes. An application can determine a button’s state by sending it a BM_GETCHECK or BM_GETSTATE message; the application can set a button’s state by sending it a BM_SETCHECK or BM_SETSTATE message.
Using the active state you can design subtle visual clues that a button has been clicked. Try adding a darker border, and darkening the background fill slightly to give the effect that a button is being pressed into the page. You can also use scaling to reduce the button size slightly, to further reinforce the effect.
