Strange. I'm not sure what's going on for you, but the behavior you want is the behavior I get with the template combo button. How does a fresh combo button behave if you just drag a new one onto a new stack? I was thinking the issue was that you wanted to set the label to some custom string, yet maintain the previous state and menu items when clicking on it.

Hi Mark,
It's not the label I'm wanting to set... "set the label of me to vWhatEver". It's the previously selected item in the button list that I want hi- lighted.

Let me explain with an example:

The object is an Option button.
The text property has: Choice 1, Choice 2, and Choice 3.

For the first time, I click in the option button and make a selection:
Choice 2.
Now when I click in the option button again, the following should happen...
- the list opens showing 3 items, as defined above. (works as it does)
- the previously selected item (Choice 2 in this example) should be
hi-lighted with the blue/navy line. (doesn't happen) This is the issue. The RunRev engine should do the hi-lighting of the item in the list for this object, the option button. The developer shouldn't have to script this.

I've seen many other development software, where this happens natively.
This behavior is to let the user know where in the list they made the
selection.

I hope I'm making this clearer to understand.

Regards,
Mark Stuart

Mark,

If you add in:

set the label of me to vWhatEver

after the "IF tNum...end IF"

does it not work like you want?  Here, the label is set to a unique
vWhatEver, and the previous menuChoice is hilited and selected when
you return to click on the button.
