    -- Creating a Dlib.Frame instance
    local frame = vgui.Create("Dlib.Frame")
    frame:SetSize(500, 500)
    frame:Center()

    local DermaButton = vgui.Create("Dlib.Button", frame) -- Create the button and parent it to the frame
    DermaButton.customText = "hi" -- Set the button's text
    DermaButton:SetPos(25, 50) -- Set its position on the frame
    DermaButton:SetSize(250, 30) -- Set the button's size
    DermaButton.DoClick = function() -- A custom function run when the button is clicked
        RunConsoleCommand("say", "Hi") -- This makes the player say "Hi" in the chat
    end
end)

This command, when executed, will create a new Dlib.Frame with a Dlib.Button inside it. The button will have the text "hi", and when clicked, the player will say "Hi" in the console.
