Creating working UI Button from Script?

Questions & Answers

Hi,

I want to create a UI Button from code without Prefabs or anything else from a static class.
My problem is that the button doesn’t work as a button.
It’s not changing it’s color when hightlighted or pressed and doesn’t call the onClick Event.

This is my code:

            GameObject b1 = new GameObject();
			b1.name = "OK";
			b1.AddComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta = new Vector2(100f, 25f);
			b1.AddComponent<Image>();
			button1 = b1.AddComponent<Button>();
			button1.transform.SetParent(panel.transform);
			button1.GetComponent<RectTransform>().transform.localPosition = new Vector3((panel.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta.x / 2f) - (button1.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta.x / 2f), -((panel.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta.y / 2f) - (button1.GetComponent<RectTransform>().sizeDelta.y / 2f)));

            button1.onClick.AddListener(delegate{
				OnButtonClicked(button1.name);
			});

I think i’m adding all needed components to the Button:
-RectTransform + Image
-Button
And I’m adding a listener, so whats wrong?

Thankful for any help!

Have you got an eventsystem in the scene and a graphics raycaster on the camera?
