viewMode

int Button::viewMode

read

The view mode of the dialog spawned by this button, which overrides the default one (ViewMode.Tiles).

This should be set using the NewStuff.Page.ViewMode enum. Note that ViewMode.Icons has been removed, and asking for it will return ViewMode.Tiles.

visibleWhenDisabled

bool Button::visibleWhenDisabled

read

If this is true (default is false), the button will be shown when the Kiosk settings are such that Get Hot New Stuff is disallowed (and any other time enabled is set to false).

Usually you would want to leave this alone, but occasionally you may have a reason to leave a button in place that the user is unable to enable.
