setting anchors on a Lua file

[Eventide]

I'm creating an widget on a lua file, like this:

tmpLabel = g_ui.createWidget('Label', parent)

It works fine, except that i don't know how to set anchors, is there a function for that?

Ok, solved the issue by creating a widget style...

In the future if you will need setting anchors in Lua, you can use:

somePanel:addAnchor(AnchorTop, 'parent', AnchorTop)

You can use parent, prev, next(?) and none.

Hey Eventide, can you tell me how you created an Widget style?
I am trying to change a Panel anchors but apparently 'addAnchor' just don't work.

For example you have something like that:

local button = g_ui.createWidget('HotkeyButton', spellsPanel)

Then in your otui file at the beggining declare it:

HotkeyButton < UIButton
  image-source: /images/ui/item
  size: 34 34
  font: verdana-11px-rounded
  opacity: 0.7
  text-align: bottomLeft
  text-offset: 1 0

  $hover !disabled:
    opacity: 0.8

  $pressed:
    opacity: 1.0

oh right, so if I want to change a button style I just have to call "mybutton:setStyle("HotkeyButton")" ?
Or it would be the other function 'setStyleFromNode'?

Probably yes, you need to check it
