Is it possible to repeat the script step for each button grouped in group?
For example:
Code: Select all
repeat for each btw theButton in grp "myGroupOfButtons"
do something
end repeat

Hi Marek,
no, "for each..." only works with chunk expressions like "line", "word" etc.
I wish it would also work with objects like cards and buttons etc.
You need to loop through "the num of btns of grp XYZ" in this case.
Best

Nope, don't believe you can use for each with buttons or any type of controls unless you keep a list of the buttons yourself at which point you can
repeat for each line tLine in myGroupedButtonList
In this case the easiest way is with an i = 1 to the number of buttons in group "groupname"
Code: Select all
repeat with i = 1 to the number of buttons in group "mygroup"
put the name of button i of group "mygroup" after field 1
end repeat
