Hi there,

Does anyone know how to initialize the selection of a scriptMenuStripRadio item in a custom menu? I'm able to create it, and use the variableValues from it just fine, but when first opening the menu, none of the radio items are selected. I can't seem to find anything obvious in the docs [www.sidefx.com], and the built-in menus seem to do it magically*.

Side note - the same applied for setting scriptToggleItems to start enabled (1).

Thanks!


Edit: * from MainMenuMPlay.xml:
<menuStripRadio id = "anim_loop">
  <value>loop.val</value>
  <radioItem id = "loop">  <label>Loop</label></radioItem>
  <radioItem id = "once">  <label>Play Once</label></radioItem>
  <radioItem id = "zigzag"><label>Zig-Zag</label></radioItem>
Not exactly sure where 
loop.val
comes from

Did you ever figure this out?

I am hitting the same thing, and none of the radio buttons is selected, which should never happen of course, as by definition, a radio button always has 1 selected.
