Help with OnPress

[Vexen]

I have a button that you click to cure/cast etc etc.

I am trying to get it to say something in chat (ie guild chat or say or whatever) and cant get the "onpress" function (I think it is) to work properly.

Question #1:
What is the proper formatting for this function?

Question #2:
Is there a way to have a variable that is easily edited for the users of the UI to change what is said in the chat?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The commands you put into UI elements work mostly like you would type them into the chat window in game, except that you do not need the "/". So

OnPress="say Hello World!"

should work. Another format is this:

OnPress="say=('Hello World!') say=('Hello World!')"

The code above is always how it looks in the XML of course.

Your question #2 has many answers, most of all depending on wether you want the user to change the function in game or out of game. The easiest out-of-game solution is to tell the user how to edit your xml of course. Or you can make a separate file with only the text you want to say, <include> it into the window and reference it via the OnPress function. Best look through some existing UIs to see how it works (all .txt files in ProfitUI are <includes> for example).

Problem..

OnPress="say=('Hello World!') say=('Hello World!')"

This says it twice for me? Any way to make it only say it once?
