changing caption text radio button

[Pablop]

I don't seem to be able to pull out the right code to programatically change the caption text of a radio button. I can change the caption text for the overall radio control, but not for the individual buttons. I get error 1320, can't set property node for a control part that has not been created.

Any suggestions?

That is because you do not have the caption turned on.

Oops!

Thanks. Thought I did, guess it was the boolean text instead!

I am having the same problem. I have run the code with the caption turned on but am still getting the same error - did you manage to get it working in the end Paul?

Hi,

I just tested the code posted in the first post of this forum post. I get error 1320 until at right-click on the second radio button (inside the cluster, not the cluster itself) and make the caption visible. Then the property node is able to find the caption for the specified refnum and change it correctly.

Are you getting different behavior with the code in this post?

McKM,

As Alisha P pointed out you must manually turn on the caption before you can programmatically modify it. Pop up on the control on the front panel and select Visible Items >> Caption.  Note that this makes the caption visible and sets its value the same as the label AND it makes the Label invisible.  The documentation is rather poor on this issue.

Thanks for your help - this worked perfectly - as you said I was making the caption for the cluster visible instead of each individual radio button - silly me!
