Working with Panels

[captain1342]

So hey I am having a problem with the GMod panels.

I am trying to set the design and the text color of a DButton and i am currently using this:

Code: Lua

1. local DermaButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", SelectionPanel )
2. DermaButton:SetText("")
3. DermaButton:SetPos( 25, 50 )                                   
4. DermaButton:SetSize( 250, 30 )                                 
5. DermaButton.DoClick = function()                               
6.         RunConsoleCommand( "say", "Hi" )
7. end
8. function DermaButton:Paint( w, h)
9.         draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ) )
10.         draw.Text( {
11.                 text = "Fighter",
12.                 color = Color(255,255,255,255),
13.                 pos = { w/2, h/2 },
14.                 font = "Gamemode_selection",
15.                 yalign = TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER,
16.                 xalign = TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER,
17.         })
18. end

but I think there is an other way I don't see. Can someone gives me an example on how to set the text color of a button?

Thanks for reading,

instead of defining your paint function like that.. try..

Code: [Select]


DermaButton.Paint = function( w, h )
  code code code code
end

Okay ty 

But still how do I set a buttons text design?

[MrPresident]

DButtons are inherited from DLabels. So take a look at DLabel methods:

I think you can just do like: button:SetTextColor()
