+
+These are widgets that can be clicked or otherwise react to a user's request.  Gtk provides many different types of widgets, and only a selection is illustrated here.
+
+== Buttons ==
+
+A button displays some text and/or icon, and generates a 'clicked' signal when clicked by the user.
+The simplest way to create a button is to pass it some text to use as the label:
+
+{{{
+#!cobra
+button1 = Button("Click me")
+}}}
+
+An alternative way is to use one of the stock actions (see [http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/gtk-Stock-Items.html#GTK-STOCK-OK:CAPS here] for a complete list).  For example:
+
+{{{
+#!cobra
+button1 = Button(Stock.quit)
+}}}
+
+To connect a method to a button, listen to the 'clicked' event.  For example:
+
+{{{
+#!cobra
+listen button1.clicked, ref .buttonClicked
+}}}
+
+The code below is a complete example showing how to create and pack to buttons into a window.  The final window should look something like:
+
+[[Image(buttons.png)]]
+
+{{{
+#!cobra
+# @args -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0  # remove initial '#'
+
+use Gtk
+
+class ExampleWindow inherits Window
+        cue init
+                base.init("Buttons Example")
+                .setDefaultSize(300,200)
+                listen .deleteEvent, ref .quit
+                .createWidgets
+
+        def quit(obj, e)
+                Application.quit
+
+        def createWidgets
+                # Create a button with given title text
+                button1 = Button("Click me")
+                # associate action when clicked
+                listen button1.clicked, ref .buttonClicked
+
+                # Create a button using stock 'quit' label and icon
+                button2 = Button(Stock.quit)
+                # associate action when clicked
+                listen button2.clicked, ref .quit
+
+                # Add the two buttons to the window within a box
+                box = VBox(true, 0)
+                box.packStart(button1, false, false, 20)
+                box.packStart(button2, false, false, 20)
+
+                .add(box)
