Ok, my mistake. Change it to... (thought do could be avoided but apparently not) do "select " & tVariablename group set the name of the selobj to "_scroller" select empty >select theGroupList -- Line 101 >group the selobj >set the name of the selobj to "_scroller" >select emp

Re: Group command syntax

Hi Michael, The object list is in the same format as your group command - objectref and objectref. So put the name of button "a" && "and" && the name of button "b"into xx Pete lcSQL Software On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 3:04 PM, Michael Doub wrote: > I feel a bit foolish as

Re: Group command syntax

Yep, just tried it and it works with that method. If you lock screen of course you can avoid showing all the selection handles. On Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 4:39 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > THere was a discussion around here smoewhere about groups not working > correctly with the "last" keyword. > > Ho

Re: Group command syntax

Mike, The dictionary states… Parameters: The objectList is a list of object references, separated by the word "and". I'm not saying it's the correct way, but if you need to build the group command via script, this does work… put "group" && the name of button "a" && "and" && the name o

Group command syntax

I feel a bit foolish asking this but I can not figure out the syntax for the group command. I am trying to clone a bunch of objects, align them property and then group them so I can build a scrolling group. group button "a" and button "b" -- works fine put the name of button "a" && return
