Option buttons can have behavior?

I try to set a behavior for an option menu and noting seems to happen
Code: Select all
set the behavior of button "chooseAction" to the long id of button "ActionPopup" of card 1 of stack "TM-CodeLibrary"
Also, can't see the behavior field in the Inspector for the Option menu so I suspect that I can't set it... I need to have the same behavior for an option button in two cards and would be great to not to have to repeat the code twice...

Hi Mag,
that's how LC works and the syntax is correct!
Enter this in the message box and see what you get:
put the behavior of button "chooseAction"
Best

Thank you Klaus!
Done the test. It seems as if LC does not want to communicate about it, or maybe the empty result is a message too (as told by the first axiom on communication by Paul Watzlawick "One Cannot Not Communicate")
Anyway, if I write wrong the name of the button I get the (correct) error:
Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: no such object
Hint: chooseActionxy

Yes, also with answer command.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
try
answer the behavior of button "chooseAction"
catch e
answer "Error:" && e
end try
end mouseUp
PS
And no errors raised.

Hi Mag,
have a look at this stack.
It sets the behavior of 2 option menu buttons.
Kind regards
Bernd

Thank you Bernd, when I saw that in your stack the set behavior command works fine, I tought that the problem could be the reference in another card, so I tried to replaced "card 1" with the short name of the card and this worked!
So, this works:
Code: Select all
set the behavior of button "chooseAction" to the long id of button "ActionPopup" of card "Codes" of stack "TM-CodeLibrary" -- works
...and this don't wrk:
Code: Select all
set the behavior of button "chooseAction" to the long id of button "ActionPopup" of card 1 of stack "TM-CodeLibrary" -- don't work
