SOB – Object – Buttons

This executable supports three types of button SOBs.

Each button is created using the SOB-ADD-BUTTON command

SOB ( _
<Parent: number expression> ,_
"ADD" , _
"BUTTON" , _
"button type" ,
"<TITLE: string expression>" , _
)

Where buttontype (enclosed in a pair of " ) must be replaced by one of the following (case insensitive):

• push
• check
• radio

---

The following script will generate 8 buttons, of which the last 2 radio buttons belong to a different container than the first 2 radio buttons.

Run the script and click on the buttons. See how the two groups of radio buttons are independent.

Above the buttons is a label field which is used to show which button has been pressed.  The script also shows how to set/get the colour of a button.
