Comparing Lists in Popup Menu's

[rpanbwl]

I'm looking for a way to compare elements in popup menus is that possible?

Hi rpanbwl,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. Sure this is possible, can you be a bit more specific?

Hint:
"Lists in popup menus" is just text that you can access (get and set) with:
the text of btn "your popup menu here"

What Kaus said.

It is not obvious, but buttons are containers, just like fields or variables, and have a text property:

Code: Select all

put "ABC" & return & "XYZ" into button "yourButton"

If the button is one of the menu styles, like a "pullDown", then the menuItems will be the text of that button. After you know that, you can compare two buttons in any way you need to.
