Just spent about an hour trying to figure out why it wouldnt work.  It
does work, I just sent the wrong button id to the function.  The id that
I sent was a real button, it just wasnt my control definitions button

I remember a line from the movie "Contact". It is supposedly a theorem (real

explanation is the correct one."
We programmers would do well to remember that.
