TextButton

TextButton : GuiButton

Overview

TextButton displays text just like TextLabel, but it adds interactable buttons. In other words, it is a UI element that displays text as well as uses the events of GuiButton like click and tap.

TextButton can be controlled only in client environment.

Properties

FontFace

Font

Specifies the font applied to the text displayed in the TextButton.

The font family, the thickness, and the italic style are specified together as a single value. The default value is the default font with the Regular thickness.

Code Samples

local ScreenGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("TextButton")

TextButton.FontFace = Font.fromName("Fredoka", Enum.FontWeight.Bold, Enum.FontStyle.Normal)

LocalizedText

string

A read-only property that returns the automatically translated result string based on the current client's locale.

Use this property to check the translated result actually displayed on the button when the original string assigned to the Text property is translated.

Automatic translation is applied only when the AutoLocalize property is true.

Code Samples

local ScreenGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("TextButton")

print(TextButton.LocalizedText)

Text

string

Specifies the text value to be displayed in TextButton.

Text is visually expressed by a variety of properties including color, transparency, size, font, alignment, and others.

In editor (Properties window), Shift + Enter can be used to input line break; in script, the character can be used to apply linefeed.

In addition, unlike TextLabel, user cannot break line with Shift + Enter in editor (Properties window). If line break is needed, user must use the character to apply linefeed.

Code Samples

local ScreenGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("TextButton")

TextButton.Text = "Hello"

local ScreenGui = script.Parent
local TextButton = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("TextButton")
