Enumerations¶

enum UnderlineMode:

UnderlineMode UNDERLINE_MODE_ALWAYS = 0

The LinkButton will always show an underline at the bottom of its text.

UnderlineMode UNDERLINE_MODE_ON_HOVER = 1

The LinkButton will show an underline at the bottom of its text when the mouse cursor is over it.

UnderlineMode UNDERLINE_MODE_NEVER = 2

The LinkButton will never show an underline at the bottom of its text.

Property Descriptions¶

String language = ""

void set_language ( String value )
String get_language ( )

Language code used for line-breaking and text shaping algorithms, if left empty current locale is used instead.

StructuredTextParser structured_text_bidi_override = 0

void set_structured_text_bidi_override ( StructuredTextParser value )
StructuredTextParser get_structured_text_bidi_override ( )

Set BiDi algorithm override for the structured text.

Array structured_text_bidi_override_options = []

void set_structured_text_bidi_override_options ( Array value )
Array get_structured_text_bidi_override_options ( )

Set additional options for BiDi override.

String text = ""

void set_text ( String value )
String get_text ( )

The button's text that will be displayed inside the button's area.

TextDirection text_direction = 0

void set_text_direction ( TextDirection value )
TextDirection get_text_direction ( )

Base text writing direction.

UnderlineMode underline = 0

void set_underline_mode ( UnderlineMode value )
UnderlineMode get_underline_mode ( )

The underline mode to use for the text. See UnderlineMode for the available modes.

String uri = ""

void set_uri ( String value )
String get_uri ( )

The URI for this LinkButton. If set to a valid URI, pressing the button opens the URI using the operating system's default program for the protocol (via OS.shell_open). HTTP and HTTPS URLs open the default web browser.

Examples:

uri = "https://godotengine.org"  # Opens the URL in the default web browser.
uri = "C:\SomeFolder"  # Opens the file explorer at the given path.
uri = "C:\SomeImage.png"  # Opens the given image in the default viewing app.

Uri = "https://godotengine.org"; // Opens the URL in the default web browser.
Uri = "C:\SomeFolder"; // Opens the file explorer at the given path.
Uri = "C:\SomeImage.png"; // Opens the given image in the default viewing app.

Theme Property Descriptions¶

Color font_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1)

Default text Color of the LinkButton.

Color font_focus_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is focused. Only replaces the normal text color of the button. Disabled, hovered, and pressed states take precedence over this color.

Color font_hover_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being hovered.

Color font_outline_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)

The tint of text outline of the LinkButton.

Color font_pressed_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being pressed.

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.

int underline_spacing = 2

The vertical space between the baseline of text and the underline.

Font font

Font of the LinkButton's text.

int font_size

Font size of the LinkButton's text.

StyleBox focus

StyleBox used when the LinkButton 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.
