Set Button State with Code
 
I can't seem to find a way to basically set selected index to X on a multi-state button. I am wanting to create an alias to quickly set a few different buttons to specific state selections (ex: "ButtonA" to state 2 and "ButtonB" to state 1). Is this possible?

If you set the ID field of the button you can do:

#STATE ID 2

I set the button id as "dd_id", its variable as "dd_val", and there are 3 button states. I manually set the dropdown to button state 1. When I run "#state dd_id 3;#show @dd_val", the text in the dropdown doesn't change and @dd_val still displays as 1.

Update:
As I was typing this, I tried just setting the variable of the button and that worked... "#var dd_val 3".

Thanks for the help.

The button variable has nothing to do with the state, by default anyway.
So this is expected behavior.

Usually that is a display value, for gauges and what have you.

If you are wanting to reference the current state of a given setting, you would use:
#SHOW %state(ID)

To set the selected index on a multi-state button, you can create an alias to quickly change specific buttons to desired states. For example, you can set 'ButtonA' to state 2 and 'ButtonB' to state 1. It should be achievable with the right scripting.
