hilite (cast member property)

Syntax

    member(whichCastMember).hilite
    the hilite of member whichCastMember

Description

Cast member property; determines whether a check box or radio button created with the button tool is selected (`TRUE`) or not (`FALSE,` default).

If `whichCastMember` is a string, it specifies the cast member name. If it is an integer, `whichCastMember` specifies the cast member number.

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This statement checks whether the button named Sound on is selected and, if it is, turns sound channel 1 all the way up:

    if member("Sound on").hilite = TRUE then sound(1).volume = 255

Example

This statement uses Lingo to select the button cast member powerSwitch by setting the `hilite` member property for the cast member to `TRUE`:

    member("powerSwitch").hilite = TRUE
