I tried using the same ComponentI for 3 buttons but it kept getting the same button text caption no matter which button I clicked. Is this possible with 7.5 ? I think I am still missing something.
Marc, Make sure that each button property includes the unique Component ID for that button. If you have three different buttons with three different button captions, you should assign three different component IDs with embedded custom EEPs to retrieve caption text into a common variable. Example: [Button1] Caption 'Button 1' Component ID: Button1 Custom EEP for Button1: -- Start SET VAR vButton TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY Button1 CAPTION vButton RECALC VARIABLES RETURN [Button2] Caption 'Button 2' Component ID: Button2 Custom EEP for Button2: -- Start SET VAR vButton TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY Button2 CAPTION vButton RECALC VARIABLES RETURN [Button3] Caption 'Button 3' Component ID: Button3 Custom EEP for Button3: -- Start SET VAR vButton TEXT = NULL GETPROPERTY Button3 CAPTION vButton RECALC VARIABLES RETURN That should help you understand the proper use of assigning the Component IDs as well as using the GETPROPERTY command to retrieve the caption value of any button. Keep in mind that to retrieve the "actual value" of any DB/Variable control, you'll need to use the "TEXTVALUE". Example: GETPROPERTY <ComponentID> TEXTVALUE variablename Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
