accessing multiple buttons

[Michael Steinwede-2]

Hi all,

I have 21 check buttons. Instead checking each one individually, I  
won't to check them within two FOR statements similar to the propgram  
below

                For ($day;1;7)
                        For ($hour;1;3)
                                If (checkButton=1)
                                        do something
                                Else
                                        do something different
                                End if
                        End for
                End for
               
The check buttons have the variable name and the object name the same  
and take the form of  cb_11, cb_12, cb_13, cb_21, cb_22 etc.

The idea is to get the 4d to recognize checkButton as cb_11, cb_12, etc.

Is this a possibility and am I barking up the wrong tree?

Any help appreciated.

Michael.

Michael,

The neat option is to use pointers.

Look at the example on "Get Pointer" in the docs.

Hi David,

I had tried various combinations with pointers (and other commands)  
without success, but I had not used the Get Pointer command.
I looked at the example in the docs and got my problem solved and  
working within minutes.

Thank you.

Michael.
