TextButton

This property provides a copy of Text that contains exactly what is being rendered by the TextButton. This is useful for eliminating style tags used for rich text markup; for example, when RichText is enabled, the ContentText property shows the text as it appears to the user.

This property selects one of several pre-defined fonts with which the TextButton will render its text. Some fonts have bold, italic and/or light variants.

With the exception of the Font.Legacy font, each font will render text with the line height equal to the TextSize property.

The Font.Code font is the only monospace font. It has the unique property that each character has the exact same width and height ratio of 1:2, where the width of each character is approximately half the TextSize property.

This property is kept in sync with the FontFace property.

This property is similar to the Font property but allows setting fonts that don't exist in Font.

This property is kept in sync with the Font property, such that when setting FontFace, the font is set to the corresponding Font value or to Font.Unknown if there are no matches.

This property determines the font size to be used.

Controls the height of lines as a multiple of the font's em square size by scaling the spacing between lines of text in the TextButton. Valid values range from 1.0 to 3.0, defaulting to 1.0.

This property sets whether a TextButton should regard GuiBase2d.Localize or not.

This property controls the maximum number of graphemes (or units of text) that are shown on the TextButton. It is primarily provided as an easy way to create a typewriter effect where the characters appear one at a time.

Changing the property does not change the position or size of the visible graphemes; the layout will be calculated as if all graphemes are visible.

Setting the property to -1 disables the limit and shows the entirety of the Text.

A comma-separated list of OpenType feature tags applied to text rendered by the TextButton (for example, zero for slashed zeros). Whitespace around each tag is ignored. Defaults to an empty string, which applies no additional features.

Only a supported subset of tags is applied. If a tag can't be parsed, isn't supported, or uses unsupported partial enabling with brackets, all tags are discarded. OpenTypeFeaturesError.

Read-only message produced when a tag in OpenTypeFeatures can't be applied — for example, when a tag fails to parse, isn't supported, or uses unsupported partial (bracketed) enabling. Empty while the current OpenTypeFeatures value applies successfully.

This property determines whether the TextButton renders its text using rich text markup to style sections of the string in bold, italics, specific colors, and more.

To use rich text, simply include rich text formatting tags in the Text string.

This property determines the text content rendered by the TextButton. The visual properties of the string rendered to the screen is determined by TextColor3, TextTransparency, TextSize, Font, TextScaled, TextWrapped, TextXAlignment and TextYAlignment.

It is possible to render emoji such as 🔒 and other symbols which aren't affected by the TextColor3 property. These can be pasted into Script and LocalScript objects, as well as the field within the Properties window.

This property may contain newline characters. Similarly, this property may contain a tab character, but it will render as a space instead.

This read-only property reflects the absolute size of rendered text in offsets, meaning that if you try to fit text into a rectangle, this property would reflect the minimum dimensions of the rectangle you'd need in order to fit the text.

Using TextService:GetTextSize(), you can predict what TextBounds will be given a string, Font, TextSize, and frame size.

This property determines the color of text.

This property determines the color of all the text rendered by the TextButton element.

TextDirection in which the text is rendered.

A boolean representation of whether the button's text fits within the size of it.

This property determines whether text is scaled so that it fills the button's entire space. When enabled, TextSize is ignored and TextWrapped is automatically enabled. This property is useful for rendering text elements within BillboardGuis. When this property is used for on-screen UI, it may be helpful to use a UITextSizeConstraint to restrict the range of possible text sizes.

Automatic Sizing#

It's recommended that you avoid usage of TextScaled and adjust UI to take advantage of the AutomaticSize property instead. Here are the core differences between the two properties:

• TextScaled scales the content (text) to accommodate the UI. Without careful consideration, some text may become unreadable if scaled too small.

• AutomaticSize resizes the UI to accommodate content while maintaining a consistent font size. For more information, see here.

Additionally, it's recommended that you avoid applying both AutomaticSize and TextScaled and to the same TextButton. AutomaticSize determines the maximum amount of available space that a GuiObject can use (in this case, text), while TextScaled uses the available space determined by AutomaticSize to scale the font size up to the maximum font size (100) if there are no size constraints.

This property determines the height of one line of rendered text. The unit is in offsets, not points (which is used in most document editing programs). The Font.Legacy font does not hold this property.

This property sets the color of the stroke, or outline, of rendered text. Along with TextStrokeTransparency, it determines the final visual appearance of the text stroke.

As a powerful alternative which supports color gradients, see UIStroke.

This property sets the transparency of the stroke, or outline, of rendered text. Along with TextStrokeColor3, it determines the final visual appearance of the text stroke.

Note that text stroke is multiple renderings of the same transparency, so this property is essentially multiplicative on itself four times over. Therefore, it's recommended to set TextStrokeTransparency to a value in the range of 0.75 to 1 for more a more subtle effect.

As a powerful alternative which supports color gradients, see UIStroke.

This property determines the transparency of all the text rendered by the TextButton.

Controls the truncation of the text displayed in the TextButton.

This property determines whether or not text should wrap at the edges of the TextButton element's space.

When enabled, this property will render text on multiple lines within a TextButton element's space so that TextBounds will never exceed the GuiBase2d.AbsoluteSize of the element. This is achieved by breaking long lines of text into multiple lines.

Line breaks will prefer whitespace; should a long unbroken word exceed the width of the element, that word will be broken into multiple lines.

If further line breaks would cause the vertical height of the text (the Y component of TextBounds) to exceed the vertical height of the element (the Y component of GuiBase2d.AbsoluteSize), then that line will not be rendered at all.

This property determines the horizontal alignment of text rendered within the object's space. It is used in conjunction with TextYAlignment to fully determine text alignment on both axes.

Note that this property won't affect the read-only properties TextBounds and TextFits.

This property determines the vertical alignment of text rendered within the object's space. It is used in conjunction with TextXAlignment to fully determine text alignment on both axes.

Note that this property won't affect the read-only properties TextBounds and TextFits.
