Hi magice,
Thank you for your help.
I did try using menuPick and it did not seem to work on the drop down type menu.
However to my pleasant surprise today it seems to work using "set the label of btn". I swear yesterday I tried that and it didn't work?! Probably it was my mistake.
Anyway I came up with a sort of work around for using this drop down menu.
Code: Select all
set the label of button "Custom Tags" to "Custom Tag 6"
put the label of button "Custom Tags" into currenttag
put currenttag into line 5 of field "Field"
In this way I can set the value of the label, and then use that label value as a way to know what the current selection is.
You need to be careful though, because you can set the value of the label to anything, even things that are not listed as choices in the dropdown menu. So in a way the menu is just a kind of window dressing when I use it this way. Its probably not the way the designers intended the dropdown menu to be used, but it seems to work for my application.
Thanks again for your help,
TJ.
