Owner of selectedChunk?

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

The trick is quite easy. I use it all the time.

For the button that you are going to click (or the owner of the button - 
grp or cd),

here's an example from my textstyleNO2 "Bold" button

local lselection, lstack
on mouseenter
  get the defaultstack,the topstack
  if the tool is "Browse tool" then
    put the selectedchunk into lselection
    if lselection is not empty then
      put the selectedfield into lfield
      put the topstack into lstack
      put lselection && "of" && lstack into lselection
    end if
  else
    put the selobj into lselection
  end if
end mouseenter

on mousedown
  if lselection is not empty then
    if the tool is "Browse tool" then
      select lselection
    else
      put the selobj into lselection
    end if
  end if
end mousedown

on mouseUp
  if lselection is not empty
  then select lselection
 
  if the selectedchunk is empty then exit mouseup
  SetFontStyle (the short name of me), lselection
 
  set the hilite of me to (the short name of me) is in the textstyle of 
the selectedchunk
  if the hilite of me then unhilite btn "Plain"
  select lselection
end mouseUp
