Hi Andy, There's a simple way around that. Your lay/pane/1/text: "hithere" creates a new reference to the new string, which is why it doesn't display, (layman talking here so take that description with a pinch of salt:), but if you just clear the current string and insert the new one it will be shown... view/new lay: layout [ button "test" button "test1" button "test" ] insert clear lay/pane/1/text "hithere" show lay/pane/1 wait none HTH. > (this also seems to apply to colors). > So if I create a grid of blank buttons (or possibly uncolored > buttons), I might be able to programatically change the appearance > of the button to simulate non-mouse highlighting. > Andy -- Carl Read -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
