Is it possible to change the text on a toolbar 'Label' object from a Standard Function? Like when I change from Flatview Mixed to Flatview Grouped. Like a status info label?
Yes, using @label and Evaluator code.
Example and links to the relevant documentation here:
Thanks for the reply. I think I am close, but it always ends up just setting the label to "Flat Off".
@ifset:FLATVIEW=Off
Set FLATVIEW=Grouped
@eval:FView="Flat Group"
@label:FView
@toggle:update
@ifset:FLATVIEW=Grouped
Set FLATVIEW=Mixed
@eval:FView="Flat Folders"
@label:FView
@toggle:update
@ifset:FLATVIEW=Mixed
Set FLATVIEW=MixedNoFolders
@eval:FView="Flat Mixed"
@label:FView
@toggle:update
@ifset:FLATVIEW=MixedNoFolders
Set FLATVIEW=Off
@eval:FView="Flat Off"
@label:FView
@toggle:update
I also tried using @ifset:common at the bottom since the last 2 commands are the same for all. I thought it would just set the label without have it repeated 4 times.
...
@ifset:common
@label:FView
@toggle:update
But I didn't work. I though the @ifset:common signified the end of the group, and the code below it would just execute every time. But maybe the FView is out of context at the bottom?
The last @label: modifier overwrites the previous three.
You can do it in a single line at the top:
@label:=fv=IsChecked("Set FLATVIEW=Grouped","Set FLATVIEW=Mixed","Set FLATVIEW=MixedNoFolders"); return (fv==1?"Grouped":fv==2?"Mixed":fv==3?"No Folders":"Off");
Note that @ifset control which commands are run when the button is clicked. They don't affect things like @label and @icon, which have to be evaluated without actually running the button.

Even simpler:
@label:=Select(IsChecked("Set FLATVIEW=Grouped","Set FLATVIEW=Mixed","Set FLATVIEW=MixedNoFolders"), "Off", "Grouped", "Mixed", "No Folders")

Awesome!! Thanks Mates!!
At first, I though that was to replace my code. But I finally added it to the top of my code and removed the @evals and @Labels.
Works great now!
