Auto-size buttons?

[Ken Ray]

Mark,

I'm doing this in OS X right now with option buttons. Here's my code:

on menuPick pChoice
  put the formattedWidth of me +15 into tW  -- 15 is my right "margin"
  put the rect of me into tRect
  put (item 1 of tRect) + tW into item 3 of tRect
  set the rect of me to tRect
end menuPick

This resizes buttons to the right (i.e. the menu is left-aligned). To make
it right-aligned (and resize to the left), simply change the third-to-last
line of the code to:

  put (item 3 of tRect) - tW into item 1 of tRect

Have fun!
