hilitedButtonName propertie (radio btt)[SOLVED]

[atout66]

Hi to all,

I've followed the lesson "Using Radio Buttons" (which doesn't work for me ) at this URL:
http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4 ... io-buttons.
I've followed the topic well named "Radio buttons" here: http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20081 and done some other search without success...

So here is my problem.
I've 3 buttons, named whatever, let say: aa,bb,cc, right ? I select all of them and make a group of this 3 buttons.
In the properties of that new group, I'm aware that the <Hilite one radio button at a time> propertie is checked.
In each button I code the mouseUp handler to this:

Code: Select all

 --     Setting the hilitedButtonName of a group sets the hilite property of the rest of the buttons to false FROM the dictionnary
     set the hilitedButtonName of group leGrp to the short name of me

Nothing happens
The group needs no script, right ?

Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Hi Jean-Paul,
You don't need scripts in buttons, take them off and it should work
Also you don't need :

Code: Select all

 set the hilitedButtonName of group leGrp to tNameBtn 

I use this to save the state of the group

Kind regards

Hi Jean-Marc, thanks for your tips.

I'm going crasy with this radio buttons ! Mine doesn't work at all, even by removing the code inside.
But if I create a new subStack, make one radio button, duplicate twice, and group them, it works

I wonder if my main stack is not corrupted somewhere ?
I've tried severall save as to rebuild the job (like with TBK ), but nothing changes...
Should I uncheck a special button in the group Inspector ? Don't think so...

Anyway, why my code shouldn't be working, even if I don't need it ? I like to understand instead to believe...
I mean, if I want to control the states on the buttons by myself (I know, the engine thinks for me very well, Klaus told me ), this <hilitedButtonName> has been done for that, no ?
Setting the hilitedButtonName of a group sets the hilite property of the rest of the buttons to false. It's FROM the dictionnary!!!
Am I missing something with this property ? Where ?

Thanks for reading me,

Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Hi Jean-Paul,

I wonder if my main stack is not corrupted somewhere ?

Maybe and that is very useful to share problems to confirm
I feel sometimes becoming crazy because I often see myself fight my foot

Setting the hilitedButtonName of a group sets the hilite property of the rest of the buttons to false. It's FROM the dictionnary!!!

Yes,
Sorrry I was not clear in my first post and my english is on building step
That is very useful to change the state of the group something like

Code: Select all

on opencard
set the hilitedButtonName of group "MyLangage" to "Français"
end opencard

on closecard
get the hilitedButtonName of group "MyLangage"
setLangage it
end closecard

on setLangage pLangage
-- do what you want
end setLangage

Kind regards
Jean-Marc

I apologize for this topic. The <hilitedButtonName> property does it's job very well to switch the states of radio buttons in a group.
I found that in my message path, I had an handler which was setting off the hilite of buttons and in my mouseLeave handler, I had a call to it.
Anyway this peace of code:

Code: Select all

     set the hilitedButtonName of group leGrp to tNameBtn 

from Jean-Marc will be very usefull for me in the future.

Kind regards, Jean-Paul.

Ooops, Jean-Marc, nos messages se sont croisés !


Anyway, very interresting your way to manage the init and states of the buttons. I won't forget it, thanks to you.

Kind regards, Jean-Paul.
