Update button icon

[Thomas McGrath III]

Chris,

That is exactly what I want.
If it works I will be a happy puppy.

Does setProp get sent when a custom prop is changed? So i would then 
trap a setProp message and update there?
Or do I use setProp to set the prop of a custom property?

Thank you,

Tom
