Use the templateButton keyword to set up default properties to be used for any new buttons you create.
Comments:
The templateButton can be thought of as a special, abstract object. It is not an actual button, but it has all the properties of a button. The ID property of the templateButton is zero.
You can use the set command to set the properties of the templateButton before creating a button. The new button has the properties of the templateButton, by default. This example creates a radio button:
on makeRadio
set the style of the templateButton to "radioButton"
create button "Red" -- "Red" is a radio button
end makeRadio
The properties of the templateButton can be returned to the default settings using the reset command.
You can refer to the templateButton using any of the following forms:
templateButton
the templateButton
templateButton()
Note: The templateButtonkeyword is implemented internally as a function and appears in the functionNames. However, it cannot be used as a function in an expression.
