Dashboard is designed as a simple to use, no-code tool. So the simple answer is no.

You can however, create your own buttons using ui\_template.

But if you want true, fine-grained control over your UI, you might be better off with something like uibuilder. The uibuilder client has a simple-to-use function designed to be used to easily send a msg back to Node-RED from an event handler:

```auto
<button onmouseup="uibuilder.eventSend(event)">Press Me!</button>

```

In the next release of uibuilder (v6.1), if you put the button inside `<form>...</form>` tags, you will even get back all of the form inputs without any further coding.
