Basalt/docs/docs1_6/objects/Button.md

The button object is for creating buttons If you click on them, they should execute something. You decide what should happen when clicking on them.

Object methods also apply for buttons.

setText	Changes the button text
setHorizontalAlign	Changes the horizontal text position
setVerticalAlign	Changes the vertical text position

Example

This is a example on how you would create a fully working button:

local main = basalt.createFrame()
local aButton = main:addButton():setText("Click")

aButton:onClick(function(self,event,button,x,y)
  if(event=="mouse_click")and(button==1)then
    basalt.debug("Left mousebutton got clicked!")
  end
end)

and this would be the xml way:

basalt.setVariable("buttonClick", function(self,event,button,x,y)
  if(event=="mouse_click")and(button==1)then
    basalt.debug("Left mousebutton got clicked!")
  end
end)

local main = basalt.createFrame():addLayout("example.xml")

<button onClick="buttonClick" text="Click" />
