Lets say I have a simple window with a column layout and a button:

string $window = `window`;
columnLayout;
button -label "Make another button";
showWindow $window;

I want the button to create another button when it's clicked. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kiaran

name the columnLayout or collect its name and then in the command of the button, add a button to that named layout ..so just the same as the existing button command, but do a -parent $collumnLayoutName.

Eureka! The -parent flag.

Why do I always look for the hard way first? Hehe, thanks wrend.
