Simplest Button Example?

[suicidalkatt]

Can anyone point me to a relatively simple button preferably in Lua vs XML.

I'm attempting to change the GuildRosterFrame's drop-down menu to buttons.

I'm not too familiar with using XML and using button templates.

[Ailae]

local b = CreateFrame("Button", "MyButton", UIParent, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
b:SetSize(80 ,22) -- width, height
b:SetText("Button!")
b:SetPoint("CENTER")
b:SetScript("OnClick", function()
    print("I'm in your buttonz")
end)

This gives you the most basic interface-button, like "Okay" and "Cancel" that you see in the interface options.

[p3lim]

local button = CreateFrame('Button', 'MyButtonName', UIParent)
button:SetPoint('CENTER')
button:SetSize(16, 16)
button:SetScript('OnClick', function()
   -- do something
end)

<Ui>
   <Button name='MyButtonName' parent='UIParent'>
      <Size x='16' y='16' />
      <Anchors>
         <Anchor point='CENTER' />
      </Anchors>
      <Scripts>
         <OnClick>
            -- do something
         </OnClick>
      </Scripts>
   </Button>
</Ui>

Note (when trying the above examples) that p3lim's code snippets DO work, they're just invisible.

Lol they'd have no textures.

Anyway result:

local f = CreateFrame("frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)
	if event == "PLAYER_LOGIN" then
		LoadAddOn("Blizzard_GuildUI")
		GuildRosterViewDropdown:Hide()
	end
	local function Update()
		GuildRoster();
		GuildRoster_Update();
		SetCVar("guildRosterView", currentGuildView);
	end
	local b1 = CreateFrame("Button", "playerStatus", GuildRosterFrame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
	b1:SetSize(120 ,18)
	b1:SetText("Player Status")
	b1:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",-25,-26)
	b1:SetScript("OnClick", function()
		GuildRoster_SetView("playerStatus");
		Update()
	end)
	local b2 = CreateFrame("Button", "guildStatus", b1, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
	b2:SetSize(120 ,18)
	b2:SetText("Guild Status")
	b2:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", b1, "TOPLEFT")
	b2:SetScript("OnClick", function()
		GuildRoster_SetView("guildStatus");
		Update()
	end)
	local b3 = CreateFrame("Button", "achievement", b1, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
	b3:SetSize(120 ,18)
	b3:SetText("Achievements")
	b3:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", b1, "BOTTOMRIGHT")
	b3:SetScript("OnClick", function()
		GuildRoster_SetView("achievement");
		Update()
	end)
	local b4 = CreateFrame("Button", "tradeskill", b3, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
	b4:SetSize(120 ,18)
	b4:SetText("Professions")
	b4:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", b3, "TOPLEFT")
	b4:SetScript("OnClick", function()
		GuildRoster_SetView("tradeskill");
		Update()
	end)
end)
