help on how to use the text button

[Guest]

David,

I had put together an example. Here it is:

var flg = Text.RELATIVETOLEFT|Text.RELATIVETOTOP| Text.FRAME | Text.ONTOP;
var xx = 480;
var yy = 0;
var nButtonTitle = "Click me!!";
var backcolor = Color.red;
var forcolor = Color.white

function preMain(){
    setPriceStudy(true); 
  setStudyTitle("Button Test"); 
}// end preMain
function main() {
  var BarState = getBarState();
  var nIndex = getCurrentBarIndex();     

    //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     
    if (nIndex < -60){return;} // minimizes load time
    if (BarState == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {     
        barcount +=1;//debugPrintln("barcount = " +barcount);
        getButtons(); 
    }
    return;
}

function getButtons(){
    drawTextPixel( xx, yy, nButtonTitle +" @URL=EFS:catchme", forcolor, backcolor, flg,"Comic Sans MS", 20, -5);
}

function catchme( nButtonPressed ){
    if ( getButtonPressed( nButtonPressed ) == 1 ) {
        debugPrintln("BUTTON_LEFT            - Left Button Clicked");
        xx = 480;
        yy = 40;
        nButtonTitle = "Click me with the right button!!";
        backcolor = Color.red;
        forcolor = Color.white;
    }
    if ( getButtonPressed( nButtonPressed ) == 2 ) {
        debugPrintln("BUTTON_RIGHT        - Right Button Clicked");
        xx = 600;
        yy = 100;
        nButtonTitle = "Left Double-Click me!!";
        backcolor = Color.white;
        forcolor = Color.black;
    }
    if ( getButtonPressed( nButtonPressed ) == 3 ) {
        debugPrintln("BUTTON_LEFTDBLCLK        - Left Button Double-Clicked");
        xx = 170;
        yy = 50;
        nButtonTitle = "Click me with the left button!!";
        backcolor = Color.yellow;
        forcolor = Color.blue;
    }
    if ( getButtonPressed( nButtonPressed ) == 0 ) {
        debugPrintln("BUTTON_UNKNOWN            - Some Other Button Click");
        xx = 200;
        yy = 50;
        nButtonTitle = "Click me with the right button!!";
        backcolor = Color.yellow;
        forcolor = Color.blue;
    }
    getButtons(); 
    return;
}

//BUTTON_RIGHT        - Right Button Clicked
//BUTTON_LEFT            - Left Button Clicked
//BUTTON_LEFTDBLCLK        - Left Button Double-Clicked
//== function determines if a button was pressed and which on was pressed

function getButtonPressed(nButtonPressed) {
  if(nButtonPressed == BUTTON_LEFT) {return(1);}
  if(nButtonPressed == BUTTON_RIGHT) {return(2);}
  if(nButtonPressed == BUTTON_LEFTDBLCLK) {return(3);}
    else {return(0);}
}
