Question by Claus33 · Jul 28, 2014 at 08:18 PM · guiguilayoutbeginarea

Why do my GUI Layout Buttons not appear on screen?

Hello, I have been having trouble with the below code. What I am trying to do is to get my "Roster" button to display fields from a database as buttons that appear when the roster button is clicked. The database access is working through the debug logs I have included in the below code. Where the problem lies I believe is when the code reaches the GUILayout.BeginArea The buttons that are meant to be in this area don't appear and neither does Debug.Log ("pressed " + name).

The code is below and any help would be much appreciated. I have examined the brackets, and as far as I can see that is not the problem!

 void OnGUI () {
                 
         
         //if the roster button is clicked then show the roster
         if (GUI.Button (new Rect(20, 80, 80, 20), "Roster")) {
             Debug.Log ("showing roster");
             
             //find out how many records are in the sqlite table
             string connectionString = "URI=file:" +Application.dataPath + "/db"; //Path to database.
              IDbConnection dbcon;
             dbcon = (IDbConnection) new SqliteConnection(connectionString);
             dbcon.Open(); //Open connection to the database
             IDbCommand cmd = dbcon.CreateCommand();
             cmd.CommandText = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM roster";
             Debug.Log (cmd.CommandText);
             int count = Convert.ToInt32 (cmd.ExecuteScalar()); //convert the string or scalar counting command to an integer value known as count
             Debug.Log (count); //return the number of records in the roster table in the database
             
             
  
             //database already has open connection to the database.
  
         IDbCommand dbcmd2 = dbcon.CreateCommand();
 
         string sql2 = "SELECT name " + "FROM roster";
  
         dbcmd2.CommandText = sql2;
  
         IDataReader reader2 = dbcmd2.ExecuteReader();
         
             
         GUILayout.BeginArea(new Rect (100,25,150,300));
         GUILayout.BeginVertical();
         while(reader2.Read()) {
         string name = reader2.GetString (0);
         {
         if( GUILayout.Button(name) )
         {
         Debug.Log ("pressed " + name);
         }
         }
             }
         GUILayout.EndVertical();
         GUILayout.EndArea();
