draw2D.Button doesn't support modification for its text [message #165617]

Hi,all
1. I'd like to know if there's any document on draw2D?
2. There're so many components in draw2D, currently I don't know which to
use for my Button which supports DirectEdit. It seems that draw2D.Button
doesn't support modification of its name(or text)?

thanks for your advice!

KIND Regards
zbw

Search the newsgroup. There's plenty of documentation available.

Add a label to the button and set the button's layout manager to be a
StackLayoutManager. Then you can invoke setText() on that label whenever
you want. Make sure you invoke Button's default constructor, and not any of
the ones that take arguments.

Alternatively, in case you're subclassing Button, you can invoke the
default Button constructor from your own one and then call the
setContents method, passing it your own Label. You can't call
setContents from outside a subclass of Button though, as it's a
protected method.
