I don't know, Jacque. There are about sixty-odd properties in a new button, and almost all have values: rects, hilites, borderWidths, etc. None have been set by anyone, and many cannot have been inherited from the card (which would be its owner) and which are not properties of a card anyway. It was just those three, all basic text properties.
Virgin fields have these three text properties (again, textSize, textFont, textStyle) at the getgo. Not buttons. But most telling is that the three properties are gettable when just one is set. In the property inspector, all three are blank initially, though there certainly is a value for each; they just are not listed. Setting one (textSize, say) still shows blank for, say, textFont. Yet all of them are gettable right afterwards. It is really screwing up a task I am trying to work out. I need to get these properties, and I cannot assume that my target buttons will have been massaged. My workaround is to check whether the properties are blank, and if so, set them to what I assume are the default, at creation, values. I guess this will be OK.
