Is it possible to identify a button ID by the icon image ID? Thanks!

Hi.

If I understand what you are asking, the "icon" is a property of a button. So if you had, say, ten buttons, and the icon of one of them was, say, "210012", then this would pick it out:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   repeat with y = 1 to the number of buttons
      if the icon of button y = 210012 then
        answer the ID of btn y
        exit repeat
   end repeat
end mouseUp

EDIT: I beat Klaus to virtually the same handler by two minutes.

HAH!

Anyway, he actually answered the OP's question just a tad better, so I updated my original handler by answering the ID instead of the number.

Sure, with a repeat loop over all the buttons on the current card, see example (or the complete stack if neccessary)

Code: Select all

...
repeat with i = 1 to the num of btns
  if the ICON of btn i = your_wanted_id_here then
     anwser the ID of btn i
  end if
end repeat
...
