Can I get the text label of a checkbox procedurally?

[Conrad Hoy]

I would like to procedurally get the text name of the checkbox when  
it's selected using the "self" pointer  some other way.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Conrad

If you mean the variable name, you can do this using the RESOLVE  
POINTER command. If you mean the button's label, then you're out of  
luck. You can't get this procedurally. You can only set it  
procedurally. So you'll need to track its value yourself.

Thanks Dave.

I was after the button's label. Sorry I wasn't clear. I suspected the  
answer you've given was the one I would get. Oh well.
