Base class for button-like UI Controls, including Hyperlinks, Buttons,
ToggleButtons, CheckBoxes, and RadioButtons. The primary contribution of
ButtonBase is providing a consistent API for handling the concept of button
"arming". In UIs, a button will typically only "fire" if some user gesture
occurs while the button is "armed". For example, a Button may be armed if
the mouse is pressed and the Button is enabled and the mouse is over the
button. In such a situation, if the mouse is then released, then the Button
is "fired", meaning its action takes place.
