API:LabelGetLinkColor

UI Lua API · Label functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8
Defined in Lua: interfacecore/source/windowstate.lua

Meant to return the colour of hyperlinks in a Label. The Lua function that addons call actually returns the label's text colour. See Details.

r, g, b = LabelGetLinkColor(labelName)

Arguments

labelName

string – Name of a Label window.

Returns

r, g, b

number – Colour components on a 0–255 scale. These may not be whole numbers.

Details

• LabelGetLinkColor is defined in interfacecore/source/windowstate.lua as:

function LabelGetLinkColor( windowName )
    return LabelGetTextColor( windowName )
end

It therefore returns the same values as LabelGetTextColor, not the link colour.

• The client function that reads the real link colour is registered as _LabelGetLinkColor. Call it directly if you need the link colour:

local r, g, b = _LabelGetLinkColor( "MyLabel" )

• _LabelGetLinkColor returns red, green and blue multiplied by 255. The alpha channel is not returned.
• The stock UI never calls LabelGetLinkColor.

Errors

Raised by _LabelGetLinkColor. When going through the Lua wrapper you get the LabelGetTextColor errors instead.

• Error in function call 'LabelGetLinkColor': Window %s does not exist
• Error in function call 'LabelGetLinkColor': Window %s is not a Label
