Changing the color of a button in a DScrollPanel list? (noob question)

[bosnian_cyco]

Oi m8s.. need some help here. How would I go about changing the color of the DButtons I created here everytime I clicked on that button?
All of the buttons are in a DScrollPanel by the way. Thanks in advance... :smile::smile:

 
--cl_init
	for k, v in pairs(panel1table) do
		local name = v
		v = vgui.Create( "DButton", DScrollPanel1 )
		v:SetFont( "hud_exo18" )
		v:SetText( "["..k.."]".. name )
		v:SetTextColor( Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) )
		v:SetPos( 0, k * 45 - 45 )
		v:SetSize( 330, 45 )
		v.Paint = function( self, w, h ) draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, Color( Something like v.colorselected or something? ) ) end
		v.DoClick = function( ply )

		end
	end

Now that I think about it, this should have probably gone in the "Problem that don't need their own thread" thread. :ohno: Sorry about that to those who are anal about that sort of thing

What you're looking for is BUTTON.Paint = function(self) code end)

Sorry, didn't read your code properly, you could check if the specific button is selected by storing it on itself I.e DoClick then store that specific button, then if that specific button == true then just paint, else do paint if not clicked.

Wrong, he wants to change the color with an click.

If you want them to change their colors only on click
[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/DButton/IsDown]DButton:IsDown[/url]

DButton.Paint = function(self, w, h)
   if self:IsDown() then
      draw.RoundedBox(0, 0, 0, w, h, color_white)
   else
      draw.RoundedBox(0, 0, 0, w, h, color_black)
   end
end

Or this, if you want to change colors on each click

DButton.colour = color_white
DButton.DoClick = function(self)
   self.colour = ColorRand()
end
DButton.Paint = function(self, w, h)
   draw.RoundedBox(0, 0, 0, w, h, self.colour)
end

Apologies for the super late reply, haven't really been messing with GLua much. :pudge: I know that the code you gave me there changes colors of each button, but how would I go about setting the other colors while changing the current one when DoClick() is ran. (v in this instance) So far, I have tried using a for loop to loop through the table and set all of the v.Colours to white, but it doesn't seem to work.

			local O = Color(255, 150, 250, 255)
			local OT = Color(255, 150, 250, 0)
			
			for k, v in pairs(panel1table) do
				local vtable = {} -- !(NEW)
				local name = v
				local selected = nil
				v = vgui.Create( "DButton", DScrollPanel1 )
				v.Colour = OT
				v:SetFont( "hud_exo18" )
				v:SetText( "["..k.."]".. string.upper(string.TrimLeft( name, "cw_" )) )
				v:SetTextColor( Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) )
				v:SetPos( 0, k * 45 - 45 )
				v:SetSize( 330, 45 )
				for i=1, #panel1table do 
					table.insert( vtable, v ) 
				end 
				v.Paint = function( self, w, h ) draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, self.Colour ) end 
				v.DoClick = function( self )
					primarySelected = name
					selected = self
					self.Colour = O
					for i=1, #vtable do
						if !selected == vtable[i] then -- if not equal to self then run thru and turn everything into white
							vtable[i].Colour = OT
						end
					end
				end
			end

I think I am inserting the same DButton into the table(vtable) multiple times(however much #panel1table is to be exact)...

Yea, that is definitely what seems to be happening :goodjob:
