Bootstrap Floating Action Button Demo | DevExpress Bootstrap Controls for ASP.NET

Default Floating Action Button

The DevExpress Bootstrap Floating Action Button is a button that appears in front of a container (HTML element or control) when users interact with the container's elements.

The following types of floating action buttons are available:

Action - Executes the action once users click the floating action button.
Action Group - The floating action button serves as a container for multiple actions (action items). When pressed, the floating action button expands nested actions.

This demo adds an action button to a container and handles button clicks.

Action Group

The Action Group is a DevExpress Bootstrap Floating Action Button type. Action groups serve as containers for multiple actions (action items). When pressed, the action group expands nested actions.

This demo adds an action group to a container. Once a user clicks the action group, two action buttons (Like and Comment) appear. The JS code-behind file handles the button clicks.
