How can I access objects of a group ?

[atout66]

Hi to all,
Everything is in the title, but to say more, what should I write if I want to do this:

Code: Select all

put the number of objects of group "myGrp" into lesObj
repeat with xxx = 1 to lesObj
get the hilite of object xxx of group "myGrp"
it IT is TRUE then
blablabla
end if
end repeat

The <blablabla> is a secret instruction I can not provided in this forum

Thanks in advance for your help, Jean-Paul.

Bonjour Jean-Paul,

"hilite"? So you are trying to check all buttons (radio- or checkbox) in a group?
Then do this:

Code: Select all

...
repeat with i = 1 to the num of btns of grp "myGrp"
  if the hilite of btn i of grp "myGrp" then
     do_my_secret_stuff
  end if
end repeat
...

Hint:
you see my line: if the hilite of btn i of grp "myGrp" then...
And may wonder why i do not write ...= TRUE!?

If you do NOT provide the value you are looking for, then the engine presumes you mean in fact:
if the hilite of btn i of grp "myGrp" = TRUE then

Looks like the engine is an optimist, which saves us some typing


Best

Klaus - I hadn't thought of that but you are right - to the engine "the glass is always half-full"

OK, thanks for the syntax Klaus:
repeat with i = 1 to the num of btns of grp "myGrp"

Kind regards, Jean-Paul.
