How to connect to a UIButton ui behaviour event

UI Behaviour

The behaviours do not work by default to increase overall performance of the system. Thus if you want to use a specific UIBehaviour you need to add it first in the Inspector.

• PointerEnter
• PointerExit
• PointerDown
• PointerUp
• PointerClick
• PointerDoubleClick
• PointerLongClick
• PointerLeftClick
• PointerMiddleClick
• PointerRightClick
• Selected
• Deselected
• Submit

Instructions

To connect to a behaviour event from code you need to following:

• Add the desired behaviour (Pointer Click for example) to the target UIButton
• Have a reference to the target UIButton
• The example below shows how to connect to the Pointer Click ui behaviour on a UIButton

using Doozy.Runtime.UIManager.Components;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Sandbox
{
    public class TestClass : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public UIButton MyButton;

        private void OnEnable()
        {
            //Add event listener
            MyButton.AddBehaviour(UIBehaviour.Name.PointerClick).Event.AddListener(OnPointerClick);
        }

        private void OnDisable()
        {
            //Remove event listener
            MyButton.AddBehaviour(UIBehaviour.Name.PointerClick).Event.RemoveListener(OnPointerClick);
        }

        private void OnPointerClick()
        {
            //do stuff
        }
    }
