Thanks Igor - but that generates a further error. In any case, I need to be able to enable/disable other buttons on the bar based on which button is clicked on etc... won't this approach only permit the enabling/disabling of the currently clicked button on the bar ?
It's looking like perhaps the ButtonBar isn't the best thing to use here... this does seem like a bit of an oversight though - if you can't enable/disable buttons on the bar it's pretty awkward in a lot of instances. Anyway, thanks for taking a look - much appreciated.
