I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I can't seem to figure out how to check if a clicked-on button is a member of a group. I've gotten this far:

Code: Select all

put the owner of the target

which correctly returns:

Code: Select all

group "responseGroup"

but if I change to

Code: Select all

put the owner of the target is grp "responseGroup"

I get an error:

Code: Select all

Chunk: source is not a container

Ok, I need to say "the name of," as in

Code: Select all

 put the owner of the target is the name of group "responseGroup"

Fun when stuff like that trips you up, ain't it just?

If your code is in the group then I think what you want is something like this:

Code: Select all

put the short name of the owner of the target

If the code is in one of the members of the group then:

Code: Select all

put the short name of the owner of me

You could use

Code: Select all

the childControlIDs of <group>

or

Code: Select all

the childControlNames of <group>
