Set BiDi algorithm override for the structured text.

Array structured_text_bidi_override_options = [] 🔗

void set_structured_text_bidi_override_options(value: Array)
Array get_structured_text_bidi_override_options()

Set additional options for BiDi override.

String text = "" 🔗

void set_text(value: String)
String get_text()

The button's text that will be displayed inside the button's area.

TextDirection text_direction = 0 🔗

void set_text_direction(value: TextDirection)
TextDirection get_text_direction()

Base text writing direction.

UnderlineMode underline = 0 🔗

void set_underline_mode(value: UnderlineMode)
UnderlineMode get_underline_mode()

The underline mode to use for the text. See UnderlineMode for the available modes.

String uri = "" 🔗

void set_uri(value: String)
String get_uri()

The URI for this LinkButton. If set to a valid URI, pressing the button opens the URI using the operating system's default program for the protocol (via OS.shell_open). HTTP and HTTPS URLs open the default web browser.

Examples:

gdscript

uri = "https://godotengine.org"  # Opens the URL in the default web browser.
uri = "C:\SomeFolder"  # Opens the file explorer at the given path.
uri = "C:\SomeImage.png"  # Opens the given image in the default viewing app.

Theme Property Descriptions

Color font_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1) 🔗

Default text Color of the LinkButton.

Color font_disabled_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is disabled.

Color font_focus_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is focused. Only replaces the normal text color of the button. Disabled, hovered, and pressed states take precedence over this color.

Color font_hover_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being hovered.

Color font_hover_pressed_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being hovered and pressed.

Color font_outline_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1) 🔗

The tint of text outline of the LinkButton.

Color font_pressed_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1) 🔗

Text Color used when the LinkButton is being pressed.

int outline_size = 0 🔗

The size of the text outline.

Note: If using a font with FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field enabled, its FontFile.msdf_pixel_range must be set to at least twice the value of outline_size for outline rendering to look correct. Otherwise, the outline may appear to be cut off earlier than intended.

int underline_spacing = 2 🔗

The vertical space between the baseline of text and the underline.

Font font 🔗

Font of the LinkButton's text.

int font_size 🔗

Font size of the LinkButton's text.

StyleBox focus 🔗

StyleBox used when the LinkButton is focused. The focus StyleBox is displayed over the base StyleBox, so a partially transparent StyleBox should be used to ensure the base StyleBox remains visible. A StyleBox that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a StyleBoxEmpty resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.
