Hello,

when sending: send "mouseup" to btn "test" the button gets the mouseUp
command, but doesn't hilite, though it's property Autohilite is true.

Do I really have to set additionally the hilite of that button by script?

I also have "pass mouseUp" in the buttons mouseUp handler and I am getting
"exit" as the result in the message box

What am I missing? Why do I get "exit" in the message box?

mouseUp is a LCode message, not an event.

just as 'mouseUpIwantToTrap' is a message you could send to an object, or a stack script, or a back script, etc.

Clicking on a checkbox will both send the message and perform the event.
   set the hilite of btn "chkboxStatus" to true

Sending the 'mouseUp' message will work just fine even if the check box is hidden, on a different card, or on a card in a different stack. The same goes for setting the hilite.

send "mouseUp" to btn id 1022 of card id 1446 of stack "Survey Questions"

set the hilite of btn "chkboxStatus" of card id 1446 of stack "Survey Questions" to true


Hope this helps
-----------------
Why not step through your code and see what happens in the flow of the script?
It sounds like 'pass mouseUp' is triggering the 'exit' string.

Hope this helps
