UIButton.UpdateColor();

Hi everyone,

I just updated to the latest version (3.5.3). UIButton.UpdateColor() has been removed, so I had to uncomment it everywhere. What function is supposed to replace this functionality? Can't find anything in UIButton...

Thanks

UIButtonColor has a "SetState" function, which is virtual, and gets overwritten by UIButton. This function gets called when the state of the button changes -- such as "hover" or "pressed".

I can see that the color gets updated when I hover over it, but I programatically change the color on startup. Is there a way to trigger the "setState" function programatically? UpdateColor() worked perfectly for my needs...

Also if I disable a button programmatically by setting "enabled = false", the color doesn't change to the disabled one. I used to also call UpdateColor() after each modification of "enabled"

I have the same problem. I programatically changed the colour of a few buttons using this and my code is now broken in the latest version. What should I do in its place since its been removed?

UIButton has the "isEnabled" flag you should be setting instead of 'enable'.

SetState effectively plays the same role as UpdateColor, with the added benefit of you explicitly specifying which state to assume. Note that the function won't do anything if you are setting the same state repeatedly due to a check on line 263 of UIButtonColor.

If you are trying to change the color of the sprite immediately, do just that:

1. button.tweenTarget.GetComponent<UIWidget>().color = Color.red;
