How To Programmatically Modify A Layout Buttons Text?

[steviebob]

Hello,
I'm trying to create a button where I can change it's text programmatically, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Before I started using the 2dToolkit, I would do this in the OnGUI method and simply create the button a new but with different text.

I think the toggle button would probably do what I want, but I still want to learn how to change to text to any arbitrary string, rather than just 1 of 2 possibilities.

While I'm on the topic of buttons, the way I'm handling their various events is to attach a script to the camera, and make each button a public property within the script.  Is this a recommended approach?

Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, also, I'm really enjoying the 2dToolkit experience so far. Previously I used to waste a ridiculous amount of time just trying to position things correctly, now it looks like it's all done for me, a massive time saver.  I think I still need to learn camera overrides to get the most benefit out of the tool, but it's great so far.

Thanks.

We use various different things depending on the scenario. Eg, if you create dialog box you can simply attach a behaviour to it to control it.

To change text - the button doesn't know about the text meshes or whatever that form the button itself. You just need to get to the textmesh object somehow. Eg. button.transform.Find("ChildObject/AnotherChild/TextMesh").GetComponent<tk2dTextMesh>().text = "Hello";

Or you could store references to the text mesh in your code.

That worked perfectly, thanks a lot.
