How to retrieve GUIX element property?

Questions & Answers

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me a little bit.

I installed GUIX demo, made a camvas, added a few objects, saved it, and then I added the showCanvas script to my empty scene. So, the canvas is showing, now I want to interact with the objects so I made the following:

A label, a textField called joinIPField, and a button called joinButton.

So, GUIX automatically adds the following code:

function joinButton_Click( sender : System.Object, eventData : GUIX.EventData )
{

	//Enter Your Click Handling Code Here...
	
}

.

So then, I add my own little piece of code:
.

.

function joinButton_Click( sender : System.Object, eventData : GUIX.EventData )
{

	ConnectToServer(joinIPField.Text);
	
}

Now, the problem is that it doesn’t work. How do I access a GUI object property using GUIX?

The error message is 125Assets/GUIX Generated/mainMenuCanvas/mainMenuCanvas_Logic.js(19,10): BCE0044: expecting }, found ‘joinIPField’.

Thanks very much for your help!

So, I figured it out on my own. If you want to access a GUI component using GUIX from another’s component event, it’s like this:

_canvas.componentName.property

In my case, it was ConnectToServer(_canvas.joinIPField.Value);
