Derives methods, etc not listed on this page from DLabel.

Implements

Implements or overrides the following hooks/methods. If you want to override these, you probably want to call the original function too.

Methods

boolean DButton:GetDrawBorder()

We advise against using this. It may be changed or removed in a future update. Returns value set by DButton:SetDrawBorder. See that page for more info.

boolean DButton:IsDown()

Returns true if the DButton is currently depressed (a user is clicking on it).

DButton:SetConsoleCommand( string command, string args )

Sets a console command to be called when the button is clicked. This overrides the button's DoClick method.

DButton:SetDisabled( boolean disable )

We advise against using this. It may be changed or removed in a future update. Use Panel:SetEnabled instead. Sets whether or not the DButton is disabled. When disabled, the button is greyed out and cannot be clicked.

DButton:SetDrawBorder( boolean draw )

We advise against using this. It may be changed or removed in a future update. Does absolutely nothing at all. Default value is automatically set to true.

DButton:SetIcon( string img = "nil" )

Sets an image to be displayed as the button's background. Alias of DButton:SetImage

DButton:SetImage( string img = "nil" )

Sets an image to be displayed as the button's background. See DButton:SetMaterial for equivalent function that uses IMaterial instead. Also see: DImageButton

DButton:SetMaterial( IMaterial img = nil )

Sets an image to be displayed as the button's background. See DButton:SetImage for equivalent function that uses file paths instead. Also see DImageButton.

DButton:UpdateColours( table skin )

A hook called from within DLabel's PANEL:ApplySchemeSettings to determine the color of the text on display.

Example

The DButton is exactly what you think it is - a button!

local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) frame:SetSize( 300, 250 ) frame:Center() frame:MakePopup() local DermaButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame ) // Create the button and parent it to the frame DermaButton:SetText( "Say hi" ) // Set the text on the button DermaButton:SetPos( 25, 50 ) // Set the position on the frame DermaButton:SetSize( 250, 30 ) // Set the size DermaButton.DoClick = function() // A custom function run when clicked ( note the . instead of : ) RunConsoleCommand( "say", "Hi" ) // Run the console command "say hi" when you click it ( command, args ) end

Output:
