Switch & Case button group

[dbailey]

Hi All,


If I have a group of buttons on a card how do I check which button has been pressed/selected. I understand using the switch & case commands but not sure how to check against the buttons.

Hi,

For radio btn
You can use the radiobehavior (hilite one radio button at time" of the group

or write your own script to check the changed state of each btn
Something like that:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put getNumHilitedBtnInGroup(MyGroupName)
end mouseUp

function getNumHilitedBtnInGroup pGroup -- return a list of the number of each hilited btn like "1,3,5"
   put the num of btns of group pGroup into nb
   put empty into tBtnHilited
   repeat with i = 1 to nb
      if the hilite of btn i of group pGroup then
         put i & "," after tBtnHilited
      end if
   end repeat
   delete char -1 of tBtnHilited
   return tBtnHilited
end getNumHilitedBtnInGroup

Hi.

You can also just check the "target" in a mouseUp handler. Not sure where in your project that handler ought to be placed, or whether each button might have its own. And I am not sure how the buttons in your group are named or distinguished, but:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
answer the target
end mouseUp
