Re: Menu button with different fonts in label and menu?
I am just putting this in, in case someone needs to do this in the future. This script creates a disabled image of the button, slightly cropped in, and places it in the spot on the button where it should go. This way, you can then go in and change the font of the button to a symbol or wingding font, and the button will still appear to have a label with a standard font. This is the script: on mousedown tButton if (tButton = 3) and (the environment = development) and (the commandkey is down) then put the short name of me into tName if exists(image (tName -Button Image)) = true then delete image (tName -Button Image) end if put 3 into tCropAmount put the rect of me into tRect put item 1 of tRect into tLeft put item 2 of tRect into tTop put item 3 of tRect into tRight put item 4 of tRect into tBottom put tLeft + tCropAmount into tNewLeft put tTop + tCropAmount into tNewTop put the left of this stack into tStackLeft put the Top of this stack into tStackTop put (tCropAmount + tStackLeft + tLeft) into tLeft put (tCropAmount + tStackTop + tTop) into tTop put (tStackLeft + tRight - tCropAmount) into tRight put (tStackTop + tBottom - tCropAmount) into tBottom import snapshot from rect tLeft,tTop,tRight,tBottom put the id of the last image of this stack into tImageID put the owner of me into tOwner if word 1 of tOwner = Group then put the short name of the owner of me into tGroupName Copy image id tImageID to group tGroupName put the id of it into tNewID delete image id tImageID put tNewID into tImageID end if set the name of image id tImageID to tName -Button Image set the topleft of image ID tImageID to tNewLeft,tNewTop set the disabled of image id tImageID to true else pass mousedown end if end mousedown Peace, J On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 5:03 PM, Jonathan Lynch jonathandly...@gmail.comwrote: In case anyone needs to do this, I figured out how.

Try setting the transparent of the field instead. Then the text remains sharp, and only the white space is removed.

Menu button with different fonts in label and menu?
What is the best was to achieve the effect of having a menu button, that is part of a group used as a menu bar, that has or appears to have a label that uses a standard font and menu items that use wingding characters? Is there a field setting that would allow mouse clicks to pass through to the object below without graying out the text of the field?

Re: Menu button with different fonts in label and menu?
Sending mouseup to a pulldown menu does not make the menu appear. Using popup on a pulldown menu messes up the appearance of the button. This is on an older version or Rev that I use at work. If you disable a field, you can click through it - but the text in the disabled field will be grey. Thanks, though - do you have any other suggestions?

In case anyone needs to do this, I figured out how. Create an image, with the desired label text and place it over the the pulldown menu button. Then set the disabled of the image to true. The image is not altered when it is disabled, so the button still appears to have a standard font - actually it is the image made to look like the button, but the user will not realize that.
