Charles, can you post the handler that gets the values from the first
three option menus and does the calculation?
I tried setting three menus up as you describe, with a preOpenCard
handler to initialise them to the system date, and it worked just
fine, so I'm wondering if there might be something in the way you're
reading the values from them.
Best,
Mark

I am still having an unusual problem with setting the value of
three menu option buttons. In the preOpenStack, I have a script
which sets the value of three menu option buttons, optionMenu
(system date for the year), optionMenu2 (system date for the month)
and optionMenu3 (system date for the day) when the first screen is
presented to the user.
I have three other option menu buttons, optionMenu4 (the numerical
year that the user chooses), optionMenu5 (the numerical month the
user chooses) and optionMenu6 (the numerical day the user chooses).
These are subtracted from the first three optionMenu buttons.
However, when the user selects a date using the optionMenu4,
optionMenu5 and optionMenu6 and does not select the system date,
that is use the current date, the age for the year and day result
in negative numbers for year, which is the year entered and the
month entered, respectively.
I don't understand why the optionMenu, optionMenu2 and optionMenu3
are not "initialized" despite showing the system date as numerical
year, month and day. By the way I have another script that is
triggered to compute the age when the user chooses the day of the
birth date that is handled by sending a mouseUp message to another
button that takes the numbers from the option menus and does the
calculation.
Here is the preOpenStack script:
local tdate
put the short date into tDate
convert tDate from short date to dateItems
select line lineOffset(item 1 of tDate, btn "optionmenu") of btn
"optionmenu"
set the menuhistory of btn "optionmenu2" to item 2 of tDate
set the menuhistory of btn "optionmenu3"to item 3 of tDate
The only times that the age is computed correctly is if the user
selects a diffferent date using the first three option menu buttons.
Any help that I can get would be greatly appreciated!
