Exercise: Using the Comparison Operator

  To script the Comparison command button to make a comparison and return an alert:

1. Select the Comparison button and choose Dashboard, Scripts.

2. Use the Object browser to navigate to Application, then Methods, and then double-click Alert.

3. Click in the parentheses of the Alert method.

4. Navigate to ActiveDocument, then Sections, then RevByTime, then Properties and then double-click ChartType.

   Your script should look like this:

   Application.Alert(ActiveDocument.Sections["RevByTime"].ChartType)

5. Type the comparison operator (==) after the property ChartType.

6. Navigate to Constants, then BqChartType and then double-click bqChartTypeVerticalBar.

   Your script should now look like this:

   Application.Alert(ActiveDocument.Sections["RevByTime"].ChartType==bqChartTypeVerticalBar)

7. Click OK to save the script and close the Script Editor.

   The Comparison button is ready to test.
