Enumerating the contents of a group

[andrew@ugh.net.au]

Hi,

I have a group containing a number of check boxes. I would like to get a list of all those selected without having to hard code a list of the field names in my script. I was hoping for something along the lines of:

get the members of group "foo"

returning an array of each object in the group. I could then go through, check which ones were buttons and check their highlight etc

Is this possible? Any tips with the syntax?

Thanks,

Andrew

If you use Mark's handlers found here: http://runrev.info/Objects%20list.htm you can easily

Code: Select all

get the objects of group "theGroupName"

How about something like

Code: Select all

repeat with x=1 to the number of controls of group tGroup
  if word 1 of the name of control x of group tGroup is "button" and the style of control x of group tGroup is "checkbox" then
    put the id of control x of group tGroup into myArray[x]
  end if
end repeat

That would give you your array and you can take it from there.

Thanks, that worked.
