disable all instances when one is clicked

Hello,

I have 9 instances of a button. I want to disable them all when one of them is clicked. However, when I add "system for each..." to the button click event, only the instance which has been clicked gets disabled...

How can I loop through all instances of an object?

Thanks,

Jeroen

In the object-clicked event, only the clicked object is picked, so all the actions will only refer to that object. To work around that you need to do the work in a separate event.

You could set a local variable to "1" in that event, and in the next event if it is "1" do the action and it'll apply to all the objects.

DisableButtons.capx

Indeed, "for each" loop will only act on the currently picked object (taht is to say only the instance that was clicked in your case).

The idea is to "delay" the command to the next tick.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Ash while I was doing the example

Thanks for the quick reply. Now I understand how to write and call 'functions' in general.
