Dynamically Generated Buttons - UIEventListener (&Passing Args)

[Vaei]

Hi there,

I have a loop that generates a button for each instance that I have connected to my server. It's a join button.

What is the proper way to handle this?

I can get the button by:

1. GameObject button = listing.transform.FindChild("Connect_Button").gameObject;

But of course it wont be stored in an array or anything, which I could do too.

Then I can initialize the UIEventHandler BUT I don't know if I can do this in the loop, or if it has to be in start, or what. AND I need to pass in an argument (the id of the instance) which I'm not sure how to do because they don't take arguments.

Please help Thank you.

My suggest... never use Find. Ever.

Also, never try to find something on children. Instead have children look up scripts on parents.

Reason being, a parent can exist without a child, but a child cannot exist without a parent.

So... have a script on your children that will either forward events to an appropriate script on the parent (NGUITools.FindInParents is handy!), or call the correct function directly.

Ah.. of course! Thank you
