Well I tried using custom props but did not get very far with them. My
solution is to add the image files to the group and hide them behind other
controls. I have added the attached handler that sets the button icons to the
values of the images in the group. The handler should be called when the
original control is duplicated but.
I used the array to ensure that the handler only finds images that are part of
the group:
on newgroup
-- set the icons for the buttons
--build an array of refs to images in the group
repeat with x=1 to the number of images of me
put the ID of image x into tID
put the short name of image x into tName
put tID into ImageA[tName]
end repeat
--now set the icons
set the icon of button "add" of me to ImageA["imgPlus"]
set the icon of button "SortA" of me to ImageA["imgSort"]
set the icon of button "Delete" of me to ImageA["imgBin"]
set the icon of button "SortB" of me to ImageA["imgSort"]
set the icon of button "Remove" of me to ImageA["imgLeftArrow"]
set the icon of button "Use" of me to ImageA["imgLeftArrow"]
end newgroup
