I am just starting to use TCL and am very confused it seems. I have a window on which I placed several RadioGroupPanes, each with 4 buttons. The original code is generated by AppMaker 1.5.4. I am trying to get/set the initial values of the radio buttons, but it ain't working. One of the radio groups is created by AM as: Group5 = new CRadioGroupPane; Group5->IViewRes ('Pane', 133, enclosure, supervisor); R5Radio = new CAMRadioControl; R5Radio->IViewRes ('CtlP', 148, Group5, Group5); JG5Radio = new CAMRadioControl; JG5Radio->IViewRes ('CtlP', 149, Group5, Group5); N5Radio = new CAMRadioControl; N5Radio->IViewRes ('CtlP', 147, Group5, Group5); L5Radio = new CAMRadioControl; L5Radio->IViewRes ('CtlP', 177, Group5, Group5); I then wrote the start of an initialization function with some testing in it to see if I was approaching it right (I'm not) as: /*———-*/ void CRinger::IRingerRadio (void) { long id; id = Group5->GetStationID (); Group5->SetStationID (147); id = Group5->GetStationID (); } /* IRingerRadio */ When I do the initial query, I get back a value of 0, which indicates that nothing is selected. However, visually I can see that one radio is on, which should mean that it is already selected? I tried various inputs to the SetStationID, but it looked like I had to use the same resource number that was used in the IViewRes call. It doesn't seem reasonable that I would be expected to hard code those numbers in my stuff, but I went ahead for this quick test. No dice — after the call, no radio is highlighted — it even turns off the one that was on before (which at least tells me I have hit the proper radio group). The next call to GetStationID again returns 0, indicating that nothing is set. At least that now agrees with the visual display… What am I supposed to pass to these two calls to properly query/set the radio buttons within a specified radio group? – Burt
