Change to the label property in 6.7

[Paul Hibbert]

Pete,

It looks like this is OK as far as I can see. I just ran a quick test:

1 x Option Menu (Default settings)
   Script:
	on menuPick
	   put the menuHistory of me into fld 3
	end menuPick

1 x Button "Test"
   Script:
	on mouseDown
	   put the menuHistory of btn 1 into fld 1
	end mouseDown

	on mouseUp
	   set the label of btn 1 to "Test"
	   put the menuHistory of btn 1 into fld 2
	end mouseUp

3 x Field

The result in all 3 fields was the same after pressing the "Test" button, whichever option was chosen last using the optionMenu was the reported menuHistory.

The result was identical to LC 6.6

HTH
