TextButton::TextButton	(	const String &	buttonName,
		const String &	toolTip )

Member Function Documentation

changeWidthToFitText() [1/2]

void TextButton::changeWidthToFitText

(

)

Changes this button's width to fit neatly around its current text, without changing its height.

changeWidthToFitText() [2/2]

void TextButton::changeWidthToFitText

(

int

newHeight

)

Resizes the button's width to fit neatly around its current text, and gives it the specified height.

getBestWidthForHeight()

int TextButton::getBestWidthForHeight

(

int

buttonHeight

)

Returns the width that the LookAndFeel suggests would be best for this button if it had the given height.

paintButton()

void TextButton::paintButton ( Graphics & g, bool shouldDrawButtonAsHighlighted, bool shouldDrawButtonAsDown )

overridevirtual

Subclasses should override this to actually paint the button's contents.

It's better to use this than the paint method, because it gives you information about the over/down state of the button.

Parameters

g	the graphics context to use
shouldDrawButtonAsHighlighted	true if the button is either in the 'over' or 'down' state
shouldDrawButtonAsDown	true if the button should be drawn in the 'down' position

Implements Button.

colourChanged()

void TextButton::colourChanged ( )

overridevirtual

This method is called when a colour is changed by the setColour() method, or when the look-and-feel is changed by the setLookAndFeel() or sendLookAndFeelChanged() methods.

See also

setColour, findColour, setLookAndFeel, sendLookAndFeelChanged
