This example creates an edit box alongside an "Output!" button. When the button is clicked with the left mouse button, it will output the message in the edit box into the chat box.

DGS = exports.dgs
-- When client's resource starts, create the GUI
function initGUI( )
    -- Create our button
    btnOutput = DGS:dgsCreateButton( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "Output!", true )

    -- And attach our button to the outputEditBox function
    addEventHandler ( "onDgsMouseClick", btnOutput, outputEditBox )

    -- Create an edit box and define it as "editBox".
    editBox = DGS:dgsCreateEdit( 0.3, 0.1, 0.4, 0.1, "Type your message here!", true )
end
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource( ) ), initGUI )

-- Setup our function to output the message to the chatbox
function outputEditBox ( button, state )
    if button == "left" and state == "down" then
        local text = DGS:dgsGetText( editBox )-- Get the text from the edit box
        outputChatBox ( text ) -- Output that text
    end
end

Clear Example

DGS = exports.dgs
