[Solved] Accessing GUI elements more reliably

[DrD]

Hi,

 

I have some noob questions.

 

Problem #1 solved itself somehow!?

 

To identify the buttons in the GUI I can do something like this:

 

if(button.displayString.contains("Difficulty")) {
   button.enabled = false;
}

 

But this fails when the user has changed his language. How can I identify the buttons more reliably? Forge version is 1517 so I'm still in 1.7.10.

Updated the question because I could solve my first problem. :-)

Could you not just save the buttons as variables? or use the button id's?

Buttons have IDs.

 

this.buttonList.add(new GuiButton(id, x, y, width, height, "NameOrLangLink"));

 

You can:

 

if (guiButton.id == 1)
{ do }

Thank you for your answers. I don't try to access my own button (that would be easier), I want to access the regular Minecraft GUI. The ID of the buttons are not unique so I cannot use "button.id".

 

Nevermind, I just did it wrong! It works now, thank you!
