Discussion: Add the header property to all button controls

Most input controls have a header property, that allows developer to add e.g. a descriptive text.

This is useful, but for the button control family this property is not available. This requires developers to add a separate textblock. This however requires additional styling (in terms of margins, paddings and fontstyles).

This is quite cumbersome, especially when using controls with a header on the same page since things look off and inconsistent across the page.

Controls to consider:

• Button
• CheckBox
• ColorPicker
• DropDownButton
• HyperlinkButton
• RadioButton
• RatingControl
• RepeatButton
• SplitButton
• ToggleButton
• ToggleSplitButton

Some examples where a header property would be useful:

The proposed form control may be useful for this I'm the future.

@niels90001 Would your scenarios be covered by the forms control as Martin Anderson (@mdtauk) mentioned ? The proposal is here.

I guess it would.. it would be nice to have this consistent, for usecases where only 1 control is used.

But yes, I could live with a forms control to solve this issue :)!
