Another Group property
I am interested in the possibility of adding another Group Property.
I would be interested in having the ability to "get the childControllabel of group".
it would be similar to the "get the childControlNames of group" command
I waas able to create a workaround but having this ability would make line great.

Re: Another Group property
Sorry, don't get it, what should "the childControllabel of grp xyz" return?
Re: Another Group property
Sorry, I meant to post a use case.
I use a group of buttons in a group, but as radio buttons. Their names would be "Radio". if you invoke the childControlNames of group it would return "Radio" as a name for each button. I would like to see which button is selected using a "Select Case' function. If I know the label of each button, this would be useful. Since the name of each button is "Radio".
I use this technique to create a menu selection group with radio buttons.

Re: Another Group property
ok, I just had a misunderstanding of the Radio Button Property.
I thought that a group of buttons had to be defined, in their instantiation as radio buttons.
I didn't realize that any group of buttons could be defined as "radio buttons in the group properties on that group". So, each button in the group can have its own name and still be a "Radio" button. so, this request is not necessary.
Thanks for your patience with this matter, my mistake.

Re: Another Group property
Why not set the name of the radio buttons to something meaningful, and leave the label empty?chipsm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 4:59 pmSorry, I meant to post a use case.

Re: Another Group property
Hi Richard. Good to hear from you.
I must admit that I have made a Big Mistake. In my desire to create a button tab group, I let my mind wander down a rabbit hole. I somehow got caught into thinking that radio buttons had to have the same name when putting into a Radio Button Group. I ran with this blindly and therefore was misled in my pursuit of this button tab group. That was why I named all of the buttons with the same name. Boy, did I make a blunder and so iI followed this wrong route. I know what mistake I made and now I'm back on track.
I am sorry if this posting created confusion for anyone.
