What I am after is a way to programatically make one of the buttons in
the grid appear to be selected. I don't have a mouse for this
application; everything is done via a keypad.
I was wondering if there were any tricks I could be using to get that
effect.
(like, is there a way I could iterate through the list of buttons
associated with a particular face, and somehow change that buttons color
?)
Thanks,
Andy
