Hi,

my first question is, why a function cannot access User Interface Items? Or I'm doing something wrong with:

(

global textvar = "Press Me"

rollout MyRollout "xyz"
(
button bTest "Testbutton"
)

fn test =
(
bTest.caption = textvar
)

test()

createdialog MyRollout

)
?

My real problem is that i want assign over 80 buttons a name on a mouseclick. How can this be done?

You can access the button from the function like this:

(
textvar = "Press Me"

rollout MyRollout "xyz"
(
button bTest "Testbutton"
)

fn test =
(
MyRollout.bTest.caption = textvar
)

test()

createdialog MyRollout
)

You can also put the function itself inside the rollout, like so:


(
textvar = "Press Me"

rollout MyRollout "xyz"
(
button bTest "Testbutton"

fn test =
(
bTest.caption = textvar
)

on myRollout open do test()
)

createdialog MyRollout
)
