Phillip,

The online help says :-

BUTTON_UVALUE
An array of user values to be associated with each button and returned
in the event structure. If this keyword is set, the user values are
always returned, even if the any of the RETURN_ID, RETURN_INDEX, or
RETURN_NAME keywords are set.

Note : "returned in the event structure."

If you insert a help,/structure, event at the top of the event handler
procedure, then
you'll see something like this :-

ID LONG 20
TOP LONG 13
HANDLER LONG 13
SELECT LONG 1
VALUE STRING '2'

where the field event.value contains your stipulated button_uvalue,
hence
you could try :-

Case event.value of
'1'
'2'
etc

but that would would fail when the event is generated by another widget
that
doesn't have a Value field in its structure.

Have you read the Building Applications manual, or bought David
Fanning's book,
subtitled "The Joy of Widgets"?

Cheers,

Andrew
