Number of display lines on a Option Menu

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Mark,

It is possible to set the option menu choices via a script -- rather  
than entering them via the properties menu. That way you can have any  
number of choices that you need and then change the options choices  
so they are context sensitive. I used this method in a correct-the- 
sentence program I made for a local teacher (known frequently as  
Daily Oral Language in U.S. elementary schools). The correction  
button displays different choices based on the part of the sentence  
the students click on.

If you have an option button called demo, then place this script in  
another button.

put "one" & return & "two" & return &  "three" into button "demo"

The option choices will then be one, two and three in that order.

You can also place the choices in a variable and then put the  
variable into the option button like this:

local tOptionsTemp
put "two" & return & "three" into tOptionsTemp
put tOptionsTemp into button "demo"

Now the button choices will read two, three

Sorry if I missed the point of your original post.

take care,
randy hengst
