quick question

I have never used the all button block before, shouldn’t the following disable all the buttons in the referenced column?

it doesn’t appear to be working for me

Your code doesn’t work because you don’t use blocks correctly. [all buttons in Column] returns a list of buttons that does not have the Disabled property. You need to create a loop through the list of buttons, and set Disabled = true for each element in this list.

foreach Item in [all buttons in Column] {  
Item.Disabled = true  
}
