I know how to make multistate buttons and they even work, but now i want something more advanced, i try to explain:

Lets say i have a multistate button of this sort:
Main Caption
Caption: My own button
Value: nothing

State1
Caption: "S1-caption"
Value: Do_trick_1

State2
Caption: "S2-caption"
value: Do_trick_2

.. and so on.

Now, i want this multistate button to this kind of trick: When i press the button and choose "State1" (whichs reads "S1-caption"), it does the Do_trick_1 AND changes the "State1"'s caption to "S1-othercaption"). When i choose the "State1" again (which now has a caption "S1-othercaption"), it does Do_different_trick_1 and changes the caption of "State1"'s back to "S1-caption". And if i now press the "State1" it does the original Do_trick_1 and again changes it's caption to "S1-othercaption" and so on. So i actually want to have a toggle-button inside multistate-button.

I know that to do this trick i need to use variables and #if - function to do the do_trick_1 and do_different_trick_1. The problem is that i dont know how to change the caption-text inside the multistate-button. In this case the "S1-caption" to "S1-othercaption"

I know the explanation isnt the clearest possible, but try to understand :)

Thanks.

You can use the %if function in captions for buttons. Between that and #IF in the commands section you should be able to handle it.

I tried putting line %if(@variable = 1,"ON","OFF") into the caption field, but the result is that it shows the entire "if(@variable = 1,"ON","OFF")" as the caption, and no "ON" or "OFF" as it shoud.

Grr. That was a bug in an older version, and I was sure Zugg fixed it. It seems he did not. Please post a bug report in the bug tracking system about it.
