Change Dialog Button Text?

[Xesirin]

If I have a dialog button stored in a variable, is it possible to change its text without creating a new button? I can't find a function in the API that would do this.

Would prefer a GUI solution but I have no problems with a simple and understandable JASS solution.

Yeah its easy to change the text of a button, like this.

• Dialog - Create a dialog button for Menu labelled Text you want
• Set Button = (Last created dialog Button)

whenever you wanna change the text of the button just do it this way.

If you wanna change the test in a menu already made later on, you may have to clear it and just rebuild it then changing that text of that button you want.

he asked if there is a way to do it without using the one you posted... maybe read first before you post...

I dont think there is a value to change the text of a dialog button... anyway why would be doing that?

I believe this will work:

native DialogSetMessage takes dialog whichDialog, string messageText returns nothing

Ex:

call DialogSetMessage( udg_DIALOGNAME, "STRING" )

I think this is for changing the title of a dialog not for a dialog button.

There's a lot of reasons doing that would be bad, memory leaks are the least of them.

Right idea, but I need to change a button's text.

I'm working on a Spell Copy interface, where a unit can learn one spell that other units cast in the game, and want to change the text of the button dynamically whenever I feel like it. Right now I'm just deleting the button and replacing it with a new one, then updating variables, which seems more cumbersome than it ought to be.

So yeah, any solutions you guys know of would be appreciated.

There are no leaks involved with dialog buttons, only strings, and you can't prevent string leaks.

Wouldn't you get a leak from creating new dialog buttons every time I needed to change the text of a button if I didn't delete the button afterwards?

There is no way of changing the text that a button displays; the only way to simulate this is, as you have said, rebuilding the dialog with the new button.
