Description | Handle the newButton message if you want to create additional objects, switch tools, or do other tasks when a new button is created. Normally, the newButton message is handled at a higher level of the message path, since the newly created button does not yet have a script unless the templateButton contains one. The actual creation is not triggered by the newButton message, so trapping the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the button from being created. |
