Re: Setting menuHistory of a group of option buttons

2016-06-21 Thread dunbarx
Hi.


A group does not have a menyHistory property. So what you really are doing is 
using a change in the menuHistory of one button to set that property in others. 
In other words, this is a button-to-button issue, and the fact that any of them 
are grouped is not pertinent.


That said, a handler in the group scripts, or even a single handler in the card 
script, can determine both the target (the button) and owner of the button (the 
group) and then take action accordingly. You will need to explicitly manage 
that activity, but it can all be done in a single handler, or two if you want 
to.

Paul,

Thanks for your suggestion!  I have two groups of four option buttons.  I 
wanted the first group of four option buttons when selected to reset the 
menuHistory of the other four option buttons. I grouped both sets into two 
group hoping that a group script for the first set would accomplish this task. 

I also wanted the same thing to occur when the second set of option buttons 
were selected that the first group of option buttons would be reset.  I wanted 
to avoid putting a lot of code into my switch statements for each group because 
there are a lot of switch statements.  Any other suggestions?

I was really surprised that a group script would not accomplished this

AFAIK there is no menuHistory associated with a group of option buttons, but 
that doesn’t (shouldn’t) stop you from creating a history yourself using any of 
the hilitedButton, hilitedButtonID or hilitedButtonName properties.

Does anyone know how to set the menuHistory of a group of option buttons?  I 
have tried several scripts without any success.
