I wrote myself a script to set the initial values of controls on a card in preOpenCard. It looks for a custom property name cInitialValue, then initialises the control to the value of the custom property, depending on that type of control (field, button, etc).
I set the value of cInitialValue for checkboxes or radio buttons to either true or false. My code then is: set the hilite of control x of this card to (the cInitialValue of control x of this card) At run time, I get an error - value is not a boolean (true or false) near "false" I'm suspecting this is because true and false are reserved words but the set statement is treating them as literals (they are not in quotes in the cprop though). However, the statement: put (the cInitialValue of control x of this card) into control x of this card ...works just fine when the value of the cprop is the word empty, also a reserved word. I'm reduced to what looks like a nonsenical if statement that checks the cprop for true or false and sets the hilite of the button to true or false.
