What am I missing here? I'm new to CMUD so be gentle. :)

I have a button gauge with a variable in the caption @variableName, for example. I can set the variable, #VAR variableName 1. I can show the variable #SHOW @variableName and see the correct value. However it displays as @variableName on the button without expanding. I'm positive I had it working earlier today and I've somehow broken it. I've tried on a new gauge and with new variable names.

I've also tried adding a new status bar item also displaying the variables in the value and that to fails and merely displays the @ and variable name.

Thanks in advance! :)

Did you create this button by command, or via the gui?
How long has it been since you restarted cmud or rebooted?
Are you using a direct @variable or a @nested.DB.variable?

Shalimar, thanks for the reply. :)

The button was created through the GUI. I'll play with the command now see if that makes a difference.

Restarted CMud multiple time and I've now rebooted. No improvement thus far.

Direct. It's as simple as I can get it.

Does the button have the scope to see the variable?
Such as...
If the variable is defined in a different window object.
If the variable is defined within a package that is not included in the session, or active in the window object.
If the variable or the class it is in (at any level) is disabled.

Try editing the caption, saving, and then editing it back.
Oh, and you want to use the GUI for button creation.... they are just to complicated otherwise.
