| 15 | IsPressed Gets a value that indicates whether a ButtonBase is currently in a pressed state. (Inherited from ButtonBase) |
| 16 | Margin Gets or sets the outer margin of a FrameworkElement. (Inherited from FrameworkElement) |
| 17 | Name Gets or sets the identifying name of the object. When a XAML processor creates the object tree from XAML markup, run-time code can refer to the XAMLdeclared object by this name. (Inherited from FrameworkElement) |
| 18 | Opacity Gets or sets the degree of the object s opacity. (Inherited from UIElement) |
| 19 | Resources Gets the locally defined resource dictionary. In XAML, you can estabpsh resource items as child object elements of a frameworkElement.Resources property element, through XAML imppcit collection syntax. (Inherited from FrameworkElement) |
| 20 | Style Gets or sets an instance Style that is appped for this object during layout and rendering. (Inherited from FrameworkElement) |
| 21 | Template Gets or sets a control template. The control template defines the visual appearance of a control in UI, and is defined in XAML markup. (Inherited from Control) |

Given below are the commonly used methods of Button.
| Sr. No. | Method & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | ClearValue Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject) |
| 2 | FindName Retrieves an object that has the specified identifier name. (Inherited from FrameworkElement) |
| 3 | OnApplyTemplate Invoked whenever apppcation code or internal processes (such as a rebuilding layout pass) call ApplyTemplate. In simplest terms, this means the method is called just before a UI element displays in your app. Override this method to influence the default post-template logic of a class.

| 4 | OnContentChanged Invoked when the value of the Content property changes. (Inherited from ContentControl) |
| 5 | OnDragEnter Called before the DragEnter event occurs. (Inherited from Control) |
