Re: How to add a value to an Item of a menu option button

[Byron]

I'm working on a project where I capture the same kind of information . 
.  series of objects with names that end in numbers. As I'm pretty 
inexperienced and didn't understand J�r�me's suggestion, I thought I'd 
mention what I've been doing and see if perhaps I'm going about this in 
the wrong way. I've been using scripts like

get the last character of (myObject)
or
repeat with x = 1 to 6
put empty into field ("object" & x)
set the label of button ("otherObject" & x) to "none"
end repeat
Is this sort of thing particularly inefficient? Am I missing something 
critical if I don't delve into custom properties?

Bonjour � tous,
In my database, I've got a table with two fields and many records:
Value Name
12 Name1
16 Name2
25 Name3
etc.
On a card I created a menu option button with items come from the 
field
Name of my database:
Menu Items:
Name1
Name2
Name3
etc.

But when I select an option, I need to now the value of the item
selected, not the item itself.
For example, if I select "Name2", I need to know the value "16".
How to add a value to an Item of a menu option button ?
Yes. You can add a custom property (like uMenuValue) to the option 
button
that contains the values, one on each line:

12
16
25
And then do this:
on menuPick
 put line (the menuHistory of me) of the uMenuValue of me into tValue
 -- gets the corresponding line in the custom property to the line 
selected
 -- in the option menu

 -- do something with tValue
end menuPick
