How to access variable of a prefab button?

Hi guys,

as I didn't find a solution for this problem, I'm gonna ask here.

I placed a toggle button from an asset prefab in my scene which contains a "Toggle (Script)" with the property/variable "Is On" giving the button's state.

In a function I need to check this button's state. Normaly I use the GetComponent method as shwon in the code snippet but here that did not work, "Toggle" doesn't seem to be a valid Component

Code (CSharp):

1.  public GameObject myPrefab
2. void Start (){
3.      Debug.Log(myPrefab.GetComponent<Toggle>().IsOn);
4. }

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Tobi

 

Do you have "using UnityEngine.UI;" at the top of the script?

 

That's it! Thank you !
