# Syntax
set the hilitedButtonID of group to buttonID
# Examples
set the hilitedButtonID of group "Options" to 342
set the hilitedButtonID of group 1 to the short ID of the mouseControl
# Description
Use the hilitedButtonID property to change the current setting in a radio button.
The hilitedButtonID specifies which button in a group is currently highlight. If the hilitedButtonID of a group is zero, none of the buttons in the group is currently highlight.
Setting the hilitedButtonID of a group sets the hilite property of the rest of the buttons to false.
The hilitedButtonID property is most useful in radio button. In a radio button, only one button can be highlight at once: clicking another button unhighlights the first one. The radioBehavior property of a group of buttons specifies whether they act as a radio button.
The hilitedButton, hilitedButtonName, and hilitedButtonID property all refer in different ways to the same button. When any of them changes, all of them change.
