GUI - Button hover change text color (Solved)

This has been driving me nuts. There is a bug in the GUI that prevents .hover and .onHover not working with text on a button. This is how it is worked around.

Additionally you'll see a simple click and swap texture button another user posted as a solution.
Note: This code is dynamically creating 10 buttons. That's the reason the Rects are being created on the fly.

There is a delay on the hover swap that seems to be based on the OnGUI execute speed. If anyone has some thoughts on how to add another change handler,
like:
if (GUI.Button(layerVisPos, "", new GUIStyle()))

for:
onHover, that would be a welcome find.

Hope this help some folks that never got their answer to this question.

Cheers,
Doc

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnGUI()
2.     {
3.         for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
4.         {
5.             // CLICK AND SWAP TEXTURE BUTTON
6.                 // Button Rect
7.                 Rect layerVisPos = new Rect(4, i * 26, 26, 26);
8.  
9.                 // Button Clicked
10.                 if (GUI.Button(layerVisPos, "", new GUIStyle()))
11.                     if (layerVisState)
12.                         layerVisState = false;
13.                     else
14.                         layerVisState = true;
15.                
16.                 // Display proper texture
17.                 if (layerVisState)
18.                     GUI.DrawTexture(layerVisPos, layerVisOn);
19.                 else
20.                     GUI.DrawTexture(layerVisPos, layerVisOff);
21.  
22.             // HOVER CHANGE TEXT COLOR BUTTON
23.                 // Rect
24.                 layerSelectPos = new Rect(56, (i * 26), position.width - 54, 25);
25.  
26.                 //  Detect hover and swap color
27.                 curEvent = Event.current;
28.                 if (layerSelectPos.Contains(curEvent.mousePosition))
29.                     guiButtonStyle.normal.textColor = Color.white;
30.                 else
31.                     guiButtonStyle.normal.textColor = Color.black;
32.  
33.                 // Hover Text Button
34.                 GUI.Button(layerSelectPos, "Layer Name", guiButtonStyle);
35.         }
36.     }

 

Wha BLAMMM!!

This will give you a rollover that updates instantly and is only triggered when you are over the window itself.

Code (CSharp):

1.   void Update()
2.     {
3.         try
4.         {
5.             if (mouseOverWindow.GetType() == (typeof(YourWindowEditorClassHere)))
6.                 Repaint();
7.         }
8.         catch { }
9.     }

Note: Admittedly I believe try/catch statement to be bad coding, but it exists for just such a situation.
mouseOverWindow.GetType() can not be compared to null when you are on another monitor(I have a few). It will throw an exception no matter what you test it against.

Happy Coding,
Doc

 

Are you fcking kidding ?
