Hi Doug,

Add escape characters (\) before the embedded quotes - quotes that appear in
between the string's quotes:

global string $gType;

radioButtonGrp
  -numberOfRadioButtons 2
  -label "What Type?"
  -labelArray2 "TypeOne" "TypeTwo"
  -on1 "$gType = \"Type One\"; print $gType;"
  -on2 "$gType = \"Type Two\"; print $gType;"
  radioButtonTest; // name it in case u want to reference it...

(OR)

You could hookup each onX to a proc (which gives you more flexibility - I
think) such as:

radioButtonGrp
  -numberOfRadioButtons 3
  -label "What Type?"
  -labelArray3 "TypeOne" "TypeTwo" "TypeThree"
  -on1 "testProc 1"
  -on2 "testProc 2"
  -on3 "testProc 3"
  rBtnTest;

global proc testProc( int $which )
{
  global string $gType;
 
  switch($which) {
    case 1:
      $gType = "Type One";
      break;
    case 2:
      $gType = "Type Two";
      break;
    case 3:
      $gType = "Type Three";
      break;
  }
  print($gType + "\n");
}
And there are other solutions as well... Good luck.

Subject: -on1 syntax brain fart

Hey guys, been working on a script for a long time here, beginning to lose
focus I think...heh...

What is the proper way to embed a string into an -on1 flag on a radio
button? I need to have the radio button assign a string to a global variable
upon being selected, and then print that global variable. Do i need to use
an intermediate variable? How do i go about this since even doing that will
require me to have the actual string text within the -on1 flag?

I have two radio buttons that each need to do this....

Sample code:

RadioButtonGrp -numberOfRadioButtons 2 -label "What Type?" -labelArray2
"TypeOne" "TypeTwo" -on1 "$gType = "Type One"; print $gType;" -on2 "$gType =
"Type Two"; print $gType;"


Thanks

Doug Meyer
