yad --form --field=Button:BTN

[stretchedthin]

I was hoping make a tutorial on YAD for youtube. Been going through
the different field options and it's been going pretty well but I've
stumbled a bit on this one .
yad --form --field=Button:BTN
I get a button, but I don't know how to write the line so that
pressing the button generates some standard output to the terminal.
Would really like pressing the button to do something.
Thanks in advance.

try this:
yad --form --field=Button:BTN 'echo "button pressed"'

an initial value for button field is a command which launched when button pressed

Victor, can the field button command be a function of the same script calling yad --form?  I can't seem to get it to work with internal functions, but works fine with external commands.

[Victor Ananjevsky]

yes, it can. just export a function and use it as "bash -c function_name"
for example:

#! /bin/bash

function on_click () {
echo clicked
}
export -f on_click

yad --form --field "Button:BTN" "bash -c on_click"

Thanks Victor, I should have thought of that.
