# Syntax
set the hilitedButtonName of group to buttonName
# Examples
set the hilitedButtonName of group "Options" to "Help"
# Description
Use the hilitedButtonName property to change the current setting in a radio button.
The hilitedButtonName specifies which button in a group is currently highlight. If the hilitedButtonName of a group is empty, none of the buttons in the group is currently highlight.
Setting the hilitedButtonName of a group sets the hilite property of the rest of the buttons to false.
The hilitedButtonName 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.
