Button¶
Inherits: BaseButton < Control < CanvasItem < Node < Object
Inherited By: CheckBox, CheckButton, ColorPickerButton, MenuButton, OptionButton
Standard themed Button.
Description¶
Button is the standard themed button. It can contain text and an icon, and will display them according to the current Theme.
Example of creating a button and assigning an action when pressed by code:
func _ready():
var button = Button.new()
button.text = "Click me"
button.pressed.connect(self._button_pressed)
add_child(button)
func _button_pressed():
print("Hello world!")
public override void _Ready()
{
var button = new Button();
button.Text = "Click me";
button.Pressed += ButtonPressed;
AddChild(button);
}
private void ButtonPressed()
{
GD.Print("Hello world!");
}
Buttons (like all Control nodes) can also be created in the editor, but some situations may require creating them from code.
See also BaseButton which contains common properties and methods associated with this node.
Note: Buttons do not interpret touch input and therefore don't support multitouch, since mouse emulation can only press one button at a given time. Use TouchScreenButton for buttons that trigger gameplay movement or actions, as TouchScreenButton supports multitouch.

int h_separation = 2
The horizontal space between Button's icon and text. Negative values will be treated as 0 when used.
int outline_size = 0
The size of the text outline.
Note: If using a font with FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field enabled, its FontFile.msdf_pixel_range must be set to at least twice the value of outline_size for outline rendering to look correct. Otherwise, the outline may appear to be cut off earlier than intended.
Font font
Font of the Button's text.
int font_size
Font size of the Button's text.
StyleBox disabled
StyleBox used when the Button is disabled.
StyleBox focus
StyleBox used when the Button is focused. The focus StyleBox is displayed over the base StyleBox, so a partially transparent StyleBox should be used to ensure the base StyleBox remains visible. A StyleBox that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a StyleBoxEmpty resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.
StyleBox hover
StyleBox used when the Button is being hovered.
StyleBox normal
Default StyleBox for the Button.
StyleBox pressed
StyleBox used when the Button is being pressed.
