Hi Mark, That would be:
repeat with x = 1 to the number of buttons of cd y put the hilite of btn x into myButtonArray[x] end repeat If you want to have the hilites as text, you might want to use a normal variable instead of an array: put the hilite of btn x & cr after myButtonList Make sure to read everything about repeat loops in the LiveCode dictionary! -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.7 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/za On 22 feb 2012, at 17:49, Mark Smith wrote: > Hi, I have 38 buttons on a form that I need to copy their hilite value to a > temporary variable.
