Description

GuiButton is an abstract class that inherits from GuiObject. It is the base class for ImageButton and TextButton. Objects of this type serve to be interactive, clickable user interface elements. It defines several properties for interaction behavior, namely GuiButton.AutoButtonColor and GuiButton.Modal, as well as a handful of events for mouse buttons (GuiButton.MouseButton1Click, GuiButton.MouseButton1Down, etc).

The most important event of a GuiButton is GuiButton.Activated, a multi-platform event that fires when the button is activated. When using a mouse, this means clicking the button and releasing with the cursor still over the UI object. For touch, the same applies but with a touch instead of button press. Finally, for gamepads, GuiButton.Activated fires if a GuiButton is selected when the A-button is pressed and released. In short, this event is very useful for multi-platform user interface programming as it provides a nice general interface for a single user input.

Activated

Parameters (2)
inputObjectInputObject
clickCountint

Fires when the button is activated. As this event doesn't fire on the server, it should only be used in a LocalScript, or in a Script with RunContext of RunContext.Client.

AutoButtonColor

TypeDefault
bool

The AutoButtonColor determines whether the button automatically changes color when the user's Mouse hovers over or clicks on it.

If true, the button will automatically change color when the mouse hovers over or clicks on it. If false, the button will not change.

If you would like to customize how a button changes when the user's mouse hovers over or clicks on it, consider using an ImageButton GUI and changing the element's ImageButton.HoverImage and ImageButton.PressedImage.

Please note that this property will not have an effect on an ImageButton if it's ImageButton.Image property is set to an image and is not null. Additionally, the property will not affect an ImageButton element on mouse hover when its ImageButton.HoverImage is not null nor on mouse click if ImageButton.PressedImage is not null.

MouseButton1Click

Parameters (0)
No parameters.

The MouseButton1Click event fires when the user's Mouse fully left clicks the GUI button.

By clicking, the mouse has to be in bounds of the button and has to be pressed down and up again before this event fires. If the mouse leaves the bounds of the button and is released, the event will not fire. If you would like to avoid this limitation, you can use GuiButton.MouseButton1Down and MouseButton1Up. These events are similar, but will fire whenever the user pressed their left mouse down or up, respectively.

This event is similar to GuiButton.MouseButton2Click, which behaves identically except that it is connected to the user's right mouse button.

Note that this event will only fire for GUI buttons, including TextButtons and ImageButton. It will not fire for other GuiObjects.

MouseButton1Down

Parameters (2)
xint
yint

The MouseButton1Down event fires when the user presses their left Mouse button down on the GUI object.

This event is similar to GuiButton.MouseButton2Down, which behaves identically except that it is connected to the user's right mouse button.

If you are looking for an event requiring the user to press and release their left mouse on a GUI in order for the event to fire, consider using GuiButton.MouseButton1Click.

Note that this event will only fire for GUI buttons, including TextButtons and ImageButton. It will not fire for other GuiObjects.

Thread safetyUnsafe

History 2

MouseButton1Up

Parameters (2)
xint
yint

The MouseButton1Up event fires when the user releases their left Mouse up off of the GUI object.

This event is similar to GuiButton.MouseButton2Up, which behaves identically except that it is connected to the user's right mouse button.

If you are looking for an event requiring the user to press and release their left mouse on a GUI in order for the event to fire, consider using GuiButton.MouseButton1Click.

Note that this event will only fire for GUI buttons, including TextButtons and ImageButton. It will not fire for other GuiObjects.

History 2

MouseButton2Click

Parameters (0)
No parameters.

The MouseButton2Click event fires when the user's Mouse fully right clicks the GUI button.

By clicking, the mouse has to be in bounds of the button and has to be pressed down and up again before this event fires. If the mouse leaves the bounds of the button and is released, the event will not fire. If you would like to avoid this limitation, you can use GuiButton.MouseButton2Down and MouseButton2Up. These events are similar, but will fire whenever the user pressed their left mouse down or up, respectively.

This event is similar to GuiButton.MouseButton1Click, which behaves identically except that it is connected to the user's left mouse button.

Note that this event will only fire for GUI buttons, including TextButtons and ImageButton. It will not fire for other GuiObjects.

MouseButton2Down

Parameters (2)
xint
yint

The MouseButton2Down event fires when the user presses their right Mouse button down on the GUI object.

This event is similar to GuiButton.MouseButton1Down, which behaves identically except that it is connected to the user's left mouse button.

If you are looking for an event requiring the user to press and release their right mouse on a GUI in order for the event to fire, consider using GuiButton.MouseButton2Click.

Note that this event will only fire for GUI buttons, including TextButtons and ImageButton. It will not fire for other GuiObjects.

MouseButton2Up

Parameters (2)
