- Sub: IDType vs item number
-
- Hello All,
-
- I'm new to MacApp and here's a dreaded "new user" question...
- TCluster.ReportCurrent returns the IDType of the currently selected radio
- button. For my purposes using IDTypes to identify a radio button is rather
- awkward. Instead, it would be helpful if ReportCurrent (or something like it)
- returned an item number. This may seem like a trivial point but it would
- simplify matters for me. (I can use an item number as an index to retrieve
- other data, with IDTypes I have to compare every radio button's IDType against
- the ReportCurrent result looking for a match)
-
- I don't see anyway to get an item number directly, except possibly creating a
- subclass of TRadio that adds an item number field? Any suggestions on ways to
- set up such a structure or use existing MacApp calls would be appreciated.
