[Xerte] Re: Changing a button label using a script

[Dave Burnett]

2 things to consider:
You can address the object properties only after it has been instantiated, e.g 
mybuttonrs.setLabel("new label");
only works when the object has been created (the flow has passed through it and it hasn't been erased).It can be off screen somewhere, but it has to exist).
If you want to change a property before the object is actually created, you need to access the XMLNode property and change the appropriate xml string in that node.Then the object will be instantiated using your new value already in place.

Dave,

Thanks so much for the information.  2 questions:

1. Is there somewhere I should have been able to look to find this myself?

2. Should this also work for radio buttons (and icons in general)?

Have a great weekend,
Kent

Give the button an rs property like mybuttonrs
then:
mybuttonrs.setLabel("new label");

Is it possible to change a button label (or, more generally, any icon property) using a script?
Or is it possible to assign a button label by using a variable in the button's properties?

I'm using Xerte 2.18.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Have a great weekend,
Kent
