Button S7 board

Is there any examples on how to use this?
Thanks

Unfortunately, the developers guides were removed from the catalog. Here is a paste of the Dev Guide:

The Developer Guides require the user to be familiar with using the Visual Studio designer to add and connect modules to mainboards, create event handlers, call methods, and set properties on objects. If you are new to Gadgeteer development, please start by working through the Tutorials: First Gadgeteer Project
Introduction

The ButtonS7 is a set of seven buttons laid out as a directional keypad. Each button has two LEDs which light when the button is pressed (for visual effect when used with acrylic or other enclosures).

One of the buttons, the “Enter” button in the center of the keypad, generates an interrupt and raises events when pressed or released. The directional buttons must be polled for status. Check the state of a button by using the IsPressed(ButtonS7.Buttons b) method.

{Tip}
Remember, don’t use an endless loop in the ProgramStarted method - it will keep any events from firing. Use a timer to poll for status.
{Tip}

The LED7C module only has one method: SetColor. This method takes a LED7C.LEDColor as the parameter. The color can take any of the following values: Blue, Cyan, Green, Magenta, Red, White, Yellow, or OFF.
