# Description

Check the armed property to determine whether a button menu is open--that is, whether the user is in the process of choosing an item from the menu. You can also set a button armed property to change its appearance.

A button's armed property is analogous to its hilite property. A button is usually armed when the mouse pointer moves into it. You can automate this behavior by setting the button autoArm property to true.

The appearance of an armed button is determined by its armBorder and armFill properties.
