I have made toolbar buttons for a couple of smart arrows. But I want them to be filled and I haven't figured out how to use the extended code. Could someone enlighten me? Am I supposed to put the ö in there somehow with the 0246? I tried it behind the

Here is the line I have for a dot arrow: A02=^1054#^173#^F9^F5^S0^F0^F4^S0^S3^F3^ I can't remember what the 173# does there. But it doesn't work without it.

Try this code.
The ö is the discrete code/symbol you want to use to toggle on the filled arrow heads. You can copy it from the Extended Character Code Page or manually type it in Alt+0264 (hold down the ALT key and type 0264 and release ALT). I usually try to put discreet codes in first in my toolbar codes as shown above that way I know won't possibly be changing some F# position that I might be expecting later in my code. I am not sure what 173# does either but it seems to get you to the arrow menu. I would probably use the code below which gets you to the arrow menu via the main Edit menu. just in case 173# might have some old legacy tied to it. Maybe that's why it's description is missing on the Extended code page? Durp, see Roger found it below

You'll enter the 0246 with Hold down Alt and 0246 on the numkeys ö to get the code.

I tried this as a command alias, seems to work.

Thanks Josh. That works great. And thanks for educating me.
