Create UI Text from script
I have a Panel with the Vertical Layour Group component on it. If I create a UI Text from the editor everything seems to be ok, but now I need to create the same UI Text but from the code.
I Tried to look into the web, but nothing seems to work.
This is my Canvas's Structure:
Root ..HUD (Canvas) ....InfoPanel (Panel) <- Here I need to create a new text.
and I tried this code:
List<GameObject> textList = new List<GameObject>();
public void createMessage(string text, Color color)
{
if(color == null)
{
color = Color.green;
}
if(text == null)
{
text = "";
}
GameObject newText = new GameObject("text", typeof(RectTransform));
var newTextComp = newText.AddComponent<Text>();
//Text newText = transform.gameObject.AddComponent<Text>(); //This is the old code, it's generates a Null Exception
newTextComp.text = text;
newTextComp.font = fontMessage;
newTextComp.color = color;
newTextComp.fontSize = 16;
textList.Add(newText);
}
This code creates the UI Text (I think) but I can't see anyhig on the panel that is attached to this script.

Insert new text as children of specified panel using SetParent function. As argument take InfoPanel.transform.

Thanks you so much, that it's.
This is my new code for reference:
public void create$$anonymous$$essage(string text, Color color)
{
if(color == null)
{
color = Color.green;
}
if(text == null)
{
text = "";
}
GameObject newText = new GameObject(text.Replace(" ", "-"), typeof(RectTransform));
var newTextComp = newText.AddComponent<Text>();
//newText.AddComponent<CanvasRenderer>();
//Text newText = transform.gameObject.AddComponent<Text>();
newTextComp.text = text;
newTextComp.font = font$$anonymous$$essage;
newTextComp.color = color;
newTextComp.alignment = TextAnchor.$$anonymous$$iddleCenter;
newTextComp.fontSize = 10;
newText.transform.SetParent(transform);
}
