Hi Scott,

That's exactly the same problem :-)

on preOpenCard -- in the stack's script
  local tCurCheckBoxStatus
  -----
  if there is a btn "MyCheckBox" then
    put the uCurCheckBoxStatus of this card into tCurCheckBoxStatus
    if tCurCheckBoxStatus is a boolean then
      set the hilite of btn "MyCheckBox" to tCurCheckBoxStatus
    else set the hilite of btn "MyCheckBox" to true -- or false :-)
  end if
end preOpenCard

On the other hand:

on mouseUp -- check box script
  <Statements>
  set the uCurCheckBoxStatus of this card to the hilite of me
end mouseUp

--------------------------------------------

BUT you could prefer write a more "global" code:

on preOpenCard -- in the stack's script
  local tCurCheckBoxStatus
  -----
  repeat with i = 1 to the number of buttons
  switch the style of btn i
   case "Menu"
     set the menuHistory of btn i to the uCurStatus of btn i
     break
   case "CheckBox"
   case "RadioButton"
     set the hilite of btn i to the uCurStatus of btn i
     break
  case "scale" -- slider
  case "progress" -- progress bar
    set the thumbPosition of btn i to the uCurStatus of btn i
  end switch
 end preOpenCard

Etc.
And each value will be stored in a custom property stored in the control itself (not the card)

Actually custom properties are very convenient.
They did not exist in HC.
Then many users coming from this environment don't take them into consideration :-(
What a pity :-)

PS. To know the style of any Rev control just create a new stack with all kinds of objects and put in the card script: "on mouseUp; put the style of the target;end mouseUp ;-)

Eric kindly helped me with the issue of storing a list object in a custom property and it works beautifully (this is a stack with multiple cards with objects set a background groups). I've been trying to do something similar with checkboxes. However I don't seem to be able to get it to stick. Anyone care to share a simple routine to store the checked status of a checkbox as a custom property so that each car can have a boolen result that may be different to another card in that stack?

Thanks in advance.

Scott
