Fwd: Combo Box and Hilited Pick

[Thomas McGrath III]

Jeff,

set the menuHistory of button "PayType" to 1

-- or 2 etc. coinciding to the item you want

from the docs:
Description
Use the menuHistory property to change the selected item in a menu,  
or to find out which menu item is currently selected.

Value:
The menuHistory of a button is an integer between 1 and the number of  
menu items in the menu.

By default, the menuHistory property of newly created buttons is set  
to 1.

Comments:
When you set the menuHistory property, a menuPick message is sent to  
the button.

If the button's menuMode is "comboBox", setting its menuHistory also  
changes the button's label to the new menu item.
