I don't know how to reference the container of all menuItems.

Put menuItem i of button "Choose Name"

returns the particular menuItem.
But, if I want to replace all the menuItems with the contents of a field,

Code: Select all

put field "newMenuItems" into menuItems of button "Choose Name"

doesn't work. The dictionary says that menuItem is a keyword, not a property.

How do I reference the collection of menuItems, so I can deal with them together instead of using a repeat loop?

Thanks,
Sri.

Hi Sri.

Code: Select all

set the text of btn "Choose Name" to the text of field "newMenuItems"

What Jean-Marc said.

He populated the button by setting its text property, and that is fine. You can also do it the other way, by simply considering the button as a container, which it is, and:

put yourMenuItems into btn "yourButton".

Amazing! I was trying all kinds of complex things!
If all else fails, try the obvious!

Thanks, Craig!
