working with buttons

[djcovarrubias]

I'm having trouble finding if a button is pressed within a floating toolbar (see file attached) I would like my macro to detect if the ruler is pushed, and if so click the button to deselect. If not pushed, then the macro does nothing. I first tried using control-specific actions:

but% child("" "AfxWnd80" win("Measurements" "#32770") 0x1)

For some reason, this command does nothing, as if the button is not recognized. I got around it by using accesible objects:

int w=win("Measurements" "#32770")
Acc b=acc("Measurements" "" w "#32770" "" 0x1001)
if (b.a)=84195512
b.Mouse(1)

The problem with this is that I don't seem to be able to find a condition that reliably detects whether the button is pressed.

Any pointers on how to approach this problem?

In 'Find accessible object' dialog click Properties, there you'll find object state. Probably will be 'checked' or 'pressed'. Then you can use State and STATE_SYSTEM_CHECKED or STATE_SYSTEM_PRESSED, like this:

if b.State&STATE_SYSTEM_CHECKED

Thanks for your quick reply. The object property state says "focusable", see image below. In the code below, the PRESSED condition is never met:

int w=win("Measurements" "#32770")
Acc b=acc("Measurements" "" w "#32770" "" 0x1001)
b.Focus
if b.State&STATE_SYSTEM_PRESSED
b.Mouse(1)

I can't figure out how the program keeps track of the button being down.

It seems buttons here are not accessible objects.

Other way - find image.

if(scan(...))

Works like a charm, thanks so much!
