Maybe I am missing something here, but why does the “masterButtonPush” widget in Core of Basic Widgets not have a chop output like the “masterButton” does? Is that intentional or a bug? If intentional, how do I trigger a chop execute best from it?
The masterButtonPush widget doesn’t have a value. It’s really just for running scripts - in particular you can run a python command from the Run command parameter set - located below the color settings.
However if you ever want to do something custom with a Widget interaction you can use the panel events from the panel component inside the widget that you are actually clicking.
The OPs page of each widget will express what components inside a widget are important. In this case you can get what you need from ./buttonPush0.
I attached some examples of using a panelCHOP or panelExecuteDAT…

Thanks very much Jarrett! Running a script is exactly what I want to do with it, like I have with chop executes from a regular button. I will check out your example. Appreciate it.
I am gradually getting used to python and the power of scripts in TD programs even for non programmer types like me.
