Simplest Button Example?

Can anyone point me to a relatively simple button preferably in Lua vs XML.

I'm attempting to change the GuildRosterFrame's drop-down menu to buttons.

I'm not too familiar with using XML and using button templates.

Code:

local b = CreateFrame("Button", "MyButton", UIParent, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")

b:SetSize(80 ,22) -- width, height

b:SetText("Button!")

b:SetPoint("CENTER")

b:SetScript("OnClick", function()

    print("I'm in your buttonz")

end)

This gives you the most basic interface-button, like "Okay" and "Cancel" that you see in the interface options.

lua Code:

local button = CreateFrame('Button', 'MyButtonName', UIParent)
button:SetPoint('CENTER')
button:SetSize(16, 16)
button:SetScript('OnClick', function()
   -- do something
end)

xml Code:

<Ui>
   <Button name='MyButtonName' parent='UIParent'>
      <Size x='16' y='16' />
      <Anchors>
         <Anchor point='CENTER' />
      </Anchors>
      <Scripts>
         <OnClick>
            -- do something
         </OnClick>
      </Scripts>
   </Button>
</Ui>

Note (when trying the above examples) that p3lim's code snippets DO work, they're just invisible. :)

Lol they'd have no textures.

Anyway result:

Code:

local f = CreateFrame("frame")

f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)

        if event == "PLAYER_LOGIN" then

                LoadAddOn("Blizzard_GuildUI")

                GuildRosterViewDropdown:Hide()

        end

        local function Update()

                GuildRoster();

                GuildRoster_Update();

                SetCVar("guildRosterView", currentGuildView);

        end

        local b1 = CreateFrame("Button", "playerStatus", GuildRosterFrame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")

        b1:SetSize(120 ,18)

        b1:SetText("Player Status")

        b1:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",-25,-26)

        b1:SetScript("OnClick", function()

                GuildRoster_SetView("playerStatus");

                Update()

        end)

        local b2 = CreateFrame("Button", "guildStatus", b1, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")

        b2:SetSize(120 ,18)

        b2:SetText("Guild Status")

        b2:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", b1, "TOPLEFT")

        b2:SetScript("OnClick", function()

                GuildRoster_SetView("guildStatus");

                Update()

        end)

        local b3 = CreateFrame("Button", "achievement", b1, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")

        b3:SetSize(120 ,18)

        b3:SetText("Achievements")

        b3:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", b1, "BOTTOMRIGHT")

        b3:SetScript("OnClick", function()

                GuildRoster_SetView("achievement");

                Update()

        end)

        local b4 = CreateFrame("Button", "tradeskill", b3, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")

        b4:SetSize(120 ,18)

        b4:SetText("Professions")

        b4:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", b3, "TOPLEFT")

        b4:SetScript("OnClick", function()

                GuildRoster_SetView("tradeskill");

                Update()

        end)
