Where are button contents?

Ken,

You can do just as you describe. Buttons have contents (usually used for
drop down or popup menus or tabbed buttons). Button contents are
different than custom props -- they're a "real" property of buttons. If
you have Rev 1.1.1, you can create a button, open the Properties palette
and click the last tab (the one that looks like a button). Choose one of
the menu styles of buttons and the area marked "Create Button Menu With
Contents" will enable... here's where you specify the contents of
buttons. You can also do it by script:

on FillButtonContents
  put "One" & cr & "Two" & cr & "Three" into button 1
end FillButtonContents

Button contents are just like in HC - you can get the selection, the
selectedLine, etc. of buttons...

Hope this helps,
