What I am trying to do:
- Create MyButton
- Set MyButton.X# in the function and have the value retain when I try this: message str$(MyButton.X#)
- It won't so I try this: MyButton = Create_Button(MyButton).
- That doesn't work so I tried what I posted below.



This is a big draw back in DB Pro!

Thanks for your help!

When you call a function with a parameter, a copy is passed, not the original. Whatever changes you make to the copy are discarded when the function returns.

You'll need to use a global or an array instead.

@IanM - I kinda figured that was what I needed to do. I will look into creating a plugin to address this problem.

Thanks,
