How to change Button sprite AND text color?

I'm looking into redoing some of the High Frontier UI using the new UI system. But I've run into a snag with buttons. In my old GUIskin, buttons would change both their image and their text color (on both hover and pressed). With the new Buttons, it looks like I can do one or the other, but not both.

Before I go write my own Button script that allows me to specify both an image and a text color, is there already some off-the-shelf way to do this that I'm missing?

Thanks,

You must access to the gameobject with :

GameObject object = GameObject.Find("nameObect");

After you access at this component :

object.GetComponent<Image>().Sprite = "NameImage"; // Change the Sprite

If you want change color text :

object.GetComponent<Text>().text.color = Color.Red;

 

Thank you, but I already knew how to do it in code... the question was whether there was some way to do this via the Button class. The old GUISkin UI does this easily; it seems like an odd oversight for the new UI system.

Anyway, I decided to work around it by using my own button script in place of Button. Here's what I came up with.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using UnityEngine.Events;
4. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
5. using System.Collections.Generic;
6.  
7. [RequireComponent(typeof(EventTrigger))]
8. public class SpriteTextButton : MonoBehaviour,
9. IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler, IPointerDownHandler, IPointerUpHandler
10. {
11.     #region Public Properties
12.     public Image targetImage;
13.     public Text targetText;
14.  
15.     public Sprite hoverSprite;
16.     public Color hoverTextColor;
17.     public Sprite pressedSprite;
18.     public Color pressedTextColor;
19.  
20.     public UnityEvent OnClick;
21.     #endregion
22.     //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23.     #region Private Properties
24.     Sprite normalSprite;
25.     Color normalTextColor;
26.     bool tracking;
27.     bool inBounds;
28.     #endregion
29.     //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30.     #region Interface Methods
31.     void Start() {
32.         normalSprite = targetImage.sprite;
33.         normalTextColor = targetText.color;
34.     }
35.  
36.     public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData) {
37.         inBounds = true;
38.         UpdateStyle();
39.     }
40.  
41.     public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData) {
42.         inBounds = false;
43.         UpdateStyle();
44.     }
45.    
46.     public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData) {
47.         tracking = true;
48.         inBounds = true;
49.         UpdateStyle();
50.     }
51.    
52.     public void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData eventData) {
53.         if (tracking && inBounds && OnClick != null) OnClick.Invoke();
54.         tracking = false;
55.         inBounds = false;
56.         UpdateStyle();
57.     }
58.     #endregion
59.     //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
60.     #region Private Methods
61.     void Set(Sprite sprite, Color textColor) {
62.         targetImage.sprite = sprite;
63.         targetText.color = textColor;
64.     }
65.     void UpdateStyle() {
66.         if (!inBounds) {
67.             Set(normalSprite, normalTextColor);
68.         } else if (tracking) {
69.             Set(pressedSprite, pressedTextColor);
70.         } else {
71.             Set(hoverSprite, hoverTextColor);
72.         }
73.     }
74.     #endregion
75. }

It doesn't do everything the built-in Button class does, but it does everything I care about, and could easily be extended as needed.

No, it's not.
