Hi Alex,

Perfect.
Of course we have to use (char i of tBinStr = 1) and not item!
I use too the method that consists in naming controls with an incremental suffix. But I think that IDs, since they can never change, might be the more secure solution... but it supposes to build the GUI properly ;-)

Hello X,

The best way (for me :-) should be to set the altIDs of the 32 controls in reference to the binary list (or use the IDs directly if they match the right sequence):
Then, for instance, if IDs (or altIDs) are 2001 to 2032:

local tBinStr -- your binary string
-----
lock screen
repeat with i = 1 to 32
  set the enabled of control ID (i + 2000) to (item i of tBinStr = 1)
end repeat
unlock screen

That's neat ! I would never have thought of using the IDs - I've never set an ID to a specific value, but I'll probably remember to consider this idea now - thanks. I would have done something rather less robust, such as naming the controls something like Bit1, Bit2, ... Bit32 and used something like
    set the enabled of control tControlName to ...

btw I think the string is a text string representing a binary number, so it would actually be set the enabled of control ("Bit" & i) to (char i of tBinStr = "1")

(Or, if the controls needed to have meaningful names for other purposes, then I'd have used an array or customproperty to map numbers to control names).

Hope this helps.

I have a Binary String say "00001100101011011100101010101010"
I then wish to enable or disable upto 32 Objects depending on "0" or "1" of the String.
Each bit being alloacated to a a different Object.
Is there an easy way !
