LiveCode Forums.

Hi

I've just started using livecode having not done anything like this before.

I've created a few buttons which work as expected. For example one button when pressed will change the background colour. Press it again and the colour changes back to the original.

What I would like is to create a new button that would mimic me pushing these two other buttons. A bit like creating a macro.

Is this possible? How would I do it?

Thanks

Hi visionmill,
This is easy in liveCode
in the third button put
send mouseUp to btn 1 in 1 millisec
send mouseUp to btn 2 in 1 second
You should use the actual names of your buttons in there unless you understand the layering of controls.

Thanks Simon. That is simple! I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Picky point: put quotes around any commands that are issued using "send". It's not only faster, it's safer.

Jacque is correct...
send "mouseUp" to btn 1 in 1 millisec
