dumb question... get value of option button

[shawn]

Dumb question I am sure but after searching for awhile I still haven't found the answer....

How do I get the selected value of an option button?

I have code in so when the button is changed by the user I get what they selected but I can't find how to simply read the selected value. I need this at startup.

Get returns all the possible choices in the option button, not the one selected by the user.

Thanks,

Shawn

Hi Shawn,
look at menuHistory in the dictionary,
it gives you an integer of the selected menuoption, with the text of button "myOptionButton" you get a list of the available options.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put the menuhistory of btn 1 into tHist
   put the text of btn 1 into tText
   put line tHist of tText
end mouseUp

regards
Bernd
