ToggleButton control

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else had a need of a ToggleButton control: something which looks like the current UI.Button, but behaves like a toggle and stays armed when its boolean state is set to true.

uGUI offers a UI.Toggle control, but it is basically a checkbox control with a graphical marker which is on or off. What I am looking for is something which behaves as a Tab to navigate between subpanels.

I have looked into the code, and it seems that the background disarming when releasing the mouse button is coded at the "Selectable" level. So if I want to have a button with a toggle behaviour, I have to rewrite the code and inspector with something parallel to Selectable.

Has any one else found another solution?

Thanks!

 

Great news, thanks!

 

HI @Tim C
Do you plan to add ListView to new UI. If so, I Hope that the ListView can support group by key word and we can add separator to it

 

You can use if statement then with modulus (%), for example, if(counter%2==0), this is toggle button. If you have three conditions, you can use if(counter%3==0) , four conditions you can use if(counter%4==0)

so every time the button is clicking, counter ++,

Here, I recommend you a simple video for toggle button using UI button, video tutorial

Example script is as below, every simple and easy to understand.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class textBtn : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public Text mytext = null;
9.     public int counter = 0;
10.     public void changeText()
11.     {
12.         counter++;
13.         if (counter % 2 == 1) {
14.             mytext.text = "Pause";
15.         } else {
16.             mytext.text = "Start";
17.         }
18.     }
19. }
