Closing a button after a function.

[Felex]

wondering how i could close a button after its use, ive tried doing the following

local HeyThatsPrettyGood = vgui.Create( "DButton", "DFrame" )
HeyThatsPrettyGood:SetText( "X" )
HeyThatsPrettyGood:SetSize( 150, 65 )
HeyThatsPrettyGood:SetTextColor( Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
HeyThatsPrettyGood:SetPos( 10, 100 )
HeyThatsPrettyGood.Paint = function( self, w, h )
	draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, Color( 41, 128, 185, 250 ) )
	
end 
HeyThatsPrettyGood.DoClick = function()
	DButton:Close()
end 

[ThreeDog]

HeyThatsPrettyGood.DoClick = function(self)
	self:Remove()
end

That should fix your problem.

Not tested, probably looks horrible.

local DFrame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
DFrame:SetPos( 100, 100 )
DFrame:SetSize( 300, 150 )
DFrame:ShowCloseButton( true )

local CloseButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", DFrame )
CloseButton:SetPos( 350, 100 )
CloseButton:SetSize( 50, 20 )
CloseButton.DoClick = function()
	DFrame:Remove()
end

Closebutton: Remove() should be self: Remove()

You only have to remove the frame, it'll delete the children too

another question ( sorry )
i have done the following

HeyThatsPrettyGood.DoClick = function(self)
    local ply = LocalPlayer()
	self:Remove()
	ply:Kick( "Didn't Accept Rules." )
	
end 

hoping that it would kick the player on the buttons click but all it is giving me is the error

[ERROR] lua/niggerfaggot.lua:62: attempt to call method 'Kick' (a nil value)
1. DoClick - lua/niggerfaggot.lua:62
2. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:218

once again sorry for asking so many questions.

Lua / niggerfaggot.lua

Nice file name.

Use wiki.garrysmod.com it will help you

You're getting the error because 'Kick' is a serverside command, and your VGUI code has to be clientside to work. You need to [URL="https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Net_Library_Usage"]network[/URL] the Kick command to the server. E.G.

--SERVERSIDE

util.AddNetworkString( 'KickAPlayer' )

net.Receive( "KickAPlayer", function( len, ply )
    ply:Kick( "Didn't Accept Rules" ) -- since the net library automatically sends the player who is trying to close the panel, you just need to use the 'ply' argument this function receives.
end )

--CLIENTSIDE

HeyThatsPrettyGood.DoClick = function(self)
    net.Start('KickAPlayer')
    net.SendToServer()
    self:Remove()
end
