Grouped Buttons & clickText - Solved

[DR White]

I have five buttons in a group.
What is wrong with the code below that keeps the clickText from returning the text from the button label that I clicked?

if the clickText contains "Easy" then Correct

Does it work with labels?
How can I make this work?

Thanks So Much,

DR White

Ohhh... a button has a word attached but you are clicking on the button not the word.
on mouseUp
if the label of me contains "Easy" then put "Correct"
end mousingAround

Now you could add a custom property to the button because I don't think you want to show the answer?

Simon,

Your suggestion seemed logical, but it did not work.

Thanks,

Ahh, you have to have a label assigned,
Check the property inspector for the button.

Got some more for you.
set the name of the button to "Correct" and the Label of the button to "Answer 1" -- this isn't code
Then it wont show as Correct.
if the short name of me = "Correct" then put "Correct" -- this is code

Simon,

I have the label set as "easy" of the one the buttons in the group, but the label of me comes back empty

[DR White]

Simon,

When I use the short name, it just returns the group ID

[Simon]

Works here???

[DR White]

Simon,

When you say "label assigned" exactly how do you mean?

[Simon]

See the above attached stack.

Simon,

Show me your code that returns the button label, when you click on it.

[Simon]

ummm...
it's in the buttons? No?

[DR White]

Simon,

Please see my first post.

[Simon]

Well I guess I completely misunderstood your question.
Could you elaborate?

If the difference is just name or lable then it's an easy change.
"put the label of me"

The clickText only returns a value in a control that contains actual text. Like fields. The properties of a button are not pertinent, even though those properties devolve to text, like the label. They live in a different world.

What you need to do is change to something like:

on mouseUp
answer the label of me
end mouseUp

Or you can use a handler higher up in the hierarchy that puts the label of the target.
