23 Oct 20243 minutes to read

Blazor ButtonGroup component provided two-way binding support in both single and multiple selection modes through the Selected property of ButtonGroupButton. The @bind-Selected directive enables two-way data binding, allowing the state of each button (selected or not) to synchronize between the UI and the backing properties.

Single selection

ButtonGroup supports single selection type in which only one button can be selected.

The following example illustrates the single selection behavior in ButtonGroup.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.SplitButtons

<SfButtonGroup Mode="Syncfusion.Blazor.SplitButtons.SelectionMode.Single">
    <ButtonGroupButton @bind-Selected="@FirstSelected">First</ButtonGroupButton>
    <ButtonGroupButton @bind-Selected="@SecondSelected">Second</ButtonGroupButton>
    <ButtonGroupButton @bind-Selected="@ThirdSelected">Third</ButtonGroupButton>
</SfButtonGroup>
@if (FirstSelected)
{
    <div class="alert alert-info">First button is selected</div>
}
@if (SecondSelected)
{
    <div class="text-danger">Second button is selected</div>
}
@if (ThirdSelected)
{
    <div class="alert alert-success">Third button is selected</div>
}
@code{
    bool FirstSelected { get; set; }
    bool SecondSelected { get; set; }
    bool ThirdSelected { get; set; } = true; // you can pre-select buttons
}

Multiple selection

ButtonGroup supports multiple selection type in which multiple button can be selected.

The following example illustrates the multiple selection behavior in ButtonGroup.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.SplitButtons

<SfButtonGroup Mode="Syncfusion.Blazor.SplitButtons.SelectionMode.Multiple">
    <ButtonGroupButton @bind-Selected="@FirstSelected">First</ButtonGroupButton>
    <ButtonGroupButton @bind-Selected="@SecondSelected">Second</ButtonGroupButton>
    <ButtonGroupButton @bind-Selected="@ThirdSelected">Third</ButtonGroupButton>
</SfButtonGroup>
@if (FirstSelected)
{
    <div class="alert alert-info">First button is selected</div>
}
@if (SecondSelected)
{
    <div class="text-danger">Second button is selected</div>
}
@if (ThirdSelected)
{
    <div class="alert alert-success">Third button is selected</div>
}
@code{
    bool FirstSelected { get; set; }
    bool SecondSelected { get; set; }
    bool ThirdSelected { get; set; } = true; // you can pre-select buttons
