GUI Repeat Button problem

Question

I have a problem with the following piece of code:

 if(GUILayout.RepeatButton("Button"))
     {
         print("YES");
     }
     else
     {
         print("NO");
     }

When i keep pressing this button i get YES NO YES NO YES NO in the console, which is what i dont want to happen. How can I get it to ignore the print("NO") bit while I keep pressing down this button?

Well, your problem is that OnGUI is executed several times a frame (at least two times: the Layout step and the Repaint step). Usually the input is processed in the Repaint event so you have to check for the Repaint event in your else statement.

 if(GUILayout.RepeatButton("Button"))
 {
     print("YES");
 }
 else if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint)
 {
     print("NO");
 }

ps. DON'T put the whole button into such an Event check, that would break the GUI system. The RepeatButton function (and all other GUI functions) have to be called for all Events.
